Notes...
The NADA listing on this car is $26,300 as of 1-25-2010 ( www.nadaguides.com ) Only 932 Anniversary Editions were manufactured in 1978 with this color combination and with a 4-speed transmission. After 31 years it is likely less than 50% of the 932 have survived and significantly fewer in this condition and mileage. This car is outstanding overall condition. This car will increase in value as they only make the 25th Anniversary one year.
