I saw this car this year at the Lars Anderson german car show in Massachusetts. It is beautiful in person, essentially perfect. I took several photos of it as it was my favorite car at the show and it was not really even in the show.

I could see that expense..... what is a base 1970 S worth? anywhere from $45,000 rough to $110,000 concurs.... what does a twin plug engine build run, bare metal paint w/ metal work? It adds up.

Welcome aboard Gibbs please post the pictures.

The price is nutty. But the "steel SC flairs, front and rear" is a hoot. Where do 70 front flairs differ from SC? And why not RS flairs in the rear, at this price level?

I completely don't get the price. Maybe you have to see the car in person. It's not really an Early "S" - it's an R Gruppe car. If it was a "T" would they have sold it for high "T" money, say $35,000 or $40,000? An "S" is valuable for what it is - I'm not trying to take anything away from this car - it looks sweet. But it shouldn't get an "S" premium anymore; if it's worth that much "in its own right" that's different, but hot rods rarely sell for $100K+, no matter how much $ went into them.

Does anyone know who built this car? Surely it must have shown up somewhere along the way to this condition?
