I think it's safe to say that you did very well. Even if you have to part it out you are WAY ahead. Congrats.

You scored! Coupes have some advantage over Starliners and they look just as snakey![}]

It's a Champion. That tag should read 14G, not 4G. If it were a Commander it would read 4H. Either way, the G at the start of the serial number pegs it as a Champion! Better price too![]

Talked him down to $125.00.

Shoot...for $1,125 you would have done good. For $125, you should be arrested for theft .
