I'd love to have that red convertible*. As is always the case, it's
worth what you can get for it. Seems to me a search might yield the
recent sales prices for similar cars without the distinctive
configuration, and if it were me, I'd double or triple that as an asking
price, depending on what they are going for. Cruise Hemmings' ads, for
instance.
*This is not an offer. Just a wishful thought. Where is the car now?
