$1/mile or $500/year

Whoever put that kit on the bumper needs to have it dropped on their head.  Repeatedly.

Nice. I tried to buy the interior out of a Cougar that was that same colour. I'd already bought some other things from it and was gonna go back for the interior the following week. Sadly, they'd crushed it...

By the way, regarding the price - if you really want a near perfect 4-eye (the silly conti kit notwithstanding) this car is worth every bit of $8k. It's pretty much a brand new car. Try and buy any used car with only 8k miles on it for less. I think these things are finally, if slowly, starting to appreciate in value...

It's been for sale for quite a long time. I actually like the continental kit. I like the interior style, not necessarily the color, but those seats look comfortable. You think he would take some pictures with the car not on the ramp truck though.

It was like that in the 1960s and 1970s too...the only preserved ones are either brown or that pea green.
At least the taupe and brown metallics from our cars were attractive enough.

If the Conti kit was easy enough to remove and IF (big IF) there was no paint damage or fading from that...then it would be worth it IMHO.
Yet it would remain brown.

That's a tough call...
