Those Electras are sad, both priced with an extra "0".
Falcon didn't have any open windows, but parking in grass can't do it any favors. I remember my dad's 60 Ford spent a few years parked in grass, which I suspect (along with the leaky heater core) hastened the decay of the front floors.

I'd prefer if it was a hard top and a little funny with the wording. 350 crate swapped in 1000 miles ago. Makes me wonder if it is a new engine or pulled out of something else

well, "crate" is used to describe a new replacement engine (shipped in a crate). Question is: WHICH crate engine?

Yeah, I'm sure HP on crate 350s can range from low 200s to probably 500+
Some bargains there - the Suburban, the Ciera and the GTI I would say. I love the '79 Caddy but the price may be optimistic. The Cutlass Supreme is similar to the one I saw locally recently but appears to be in much better condition and seems fairly priced.
The '61 Caddy is barely a parts car, the Z-series (!), bobbed 4Runner and Ranch Wagon give me the willies, and the '77 Mustang is begging for a 302 HO transplant.
300CE was around 45K then, 560SEC around 70K, so a lot more. The SEC was also 8 model years old then, and MB still had no problem selling every one they built. A good time for the brand.
I like the Torino too. Strange bits beyond the 3x2bbl induction upgrade though. It comes with a Marti report as pointed out before but the cosmetics look wrong. What happened to the Indy pace car graphics? The black exterior striping looks wrong.
Can't be just the color altered by the image either. Pic #10 below clearly shows the black exterior striping in the door opening in contrast with blue interior. I think all the '68 Torino pace car edtions were white trimmed with blue and (smaller) red exterior striping. The light blue IP on the CL Torino is intriguing compared to other pace car editions I've seen which look like this '68 Torino pace car edition below: My old '68 Torino GT had an IP like the pace car edtion above. If you look at the CL Torino below the powder blue IP doesn't seem to match any other shade of blue in the car either. Strange. Non stock looking rear view mirror. And some of the under dash trim looks black where it should be bright. Also the "spear" trim above the glove box looks black in the middle where it should be bright with a red/white/blue graphic on the right side. May be hard to see on the pic below from another '68 Torino pace car edition spotted on ebay. $39,500.00 OBO is the asking and I'd want the details straight for that kind of money.
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.
Wow, that '85 Town Car in Islip looks immaculate. Someone needs to snap that up fast. Where's @oldfarmer50 when you need him?
The '72 M-B 280SE 4.5 is lovely too. I don't know about the price but it may be worth close to that. I was concerned when the ad said "updated to automatic belts" but I think he meant inertia reels which are not a dramatic change.
On the Torino "pace car", I had my doubts when reading the original post by @fintail and now @omarman has raised many good questions. I wouldn't be interested in it regardless but now the doubts are strong.
280SE: knock price down to 15K or so, fix "slight hesitation when cold" and clock, and ensure it has a clean bill of health from a specialist, and no harm done. Timeless and immensely high quality cars.
85 Town Car is in really nice shape and that white roof on the burgundy is very uncommon
It’s a shame it’s a base model... certainly not a Cartier or Signature Series (two different trims). An 85 Cartier in that shape I would be all over. That’s a great looking color combo. Shame the 85s are still CFI. They didn’t go multiport injection until 86.
I like that vintage grand am, but not the way he has that one done up. And why no interior pictures?
Since the Grand Am isn't that desirable a car, I am mostly OK with the wheels and paint. Would definitely go over it with a magnet to see what is under the paint though
Youtube also has 3 short videos of the old cat dated about 3 days prior to the sale above. When I looked at the first video I could pick out some of the battle scars from 2011 which still show up in the current CL ad pics. Just bigger, uglier and dirtier.
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.

Weather is starting to feel like fall. Could there be any deals to be had?
Nicely preserved Fiero but the price is really going for it. Could these be on the rise? And what if it had a stick?
