Anybody know how much $ they were asking in these ancient classifieds?

Hey guys, wow it's been awhile.

Anyhoo I'm compiling a list of historical ask/sell prices for original Daytona Coupes, and had no idea it would be this difficult. I'll upload the ads later when I get home and have access to them.

I'm focused on one in particular right now.

In the Classifieds section for Autoweek, dated June 28th 1975, a man by the name of Edd Mullen, based in Cheyenne Wyoming, was advertising coupe #2286. I have one dubious but plausible claim that he was asking around $30,000, but this isn't even remotely confirmed.

I do know of another coupe advertised in Autoweek on April 1st 1972 for $12,500, the same price the Brock car was offered at in R&T 12/66.

$30k sounds appropriate for 75, as street 289's ranged from $7500 to $13000 that year, and 427's of all types (street, s/c and comp were close in price at the time) were between $11,000 and $20,000.

Anybody got a somewhat confident price on that one?

I also have ads that do list an asking price that I'll post later as well, but I want to focus on these two for now.
