Looks like with the exception of some paint crazing on the roof, she's a real cream puff, like brand new...

Can;t believe the money these generic secretary cars are bringing, Fine car, I'm sure, but no wow factor to my eye.
No, it's difficult. The only thing that it has going for it is that 3700 mile figure. If it weren't for the miniscule miles, it's just another run of the mill Cutlass with a 140HP 307. The paint flaws were typical of the day, so no huge surprise, but I'd fix it anyway. Fugg it.
OTOH, if you want to customize it and dump an LS engine into it, etc., there's no finer platform than this car, which is essentially new. Except for the "incorrect" radiator overflow tank. It has a 4-door version in it. Mistake? Probably not. Either something happened to the original or someone changed it out for some other reason.

25K? No sh*t? Wow. Can't really drive it. Well, not much. With every mile, it'll depreciate off the cliff.
And I'm going to bet whoever paid that much doesn't know squat about those 3 speed 200s. Or probably anything else about the car, really. Clean, kinda collectible (debatable), and minty fresh needing some TLC? Sure. But if I was going to buy a museum piece, it wouldn't be this one. I might pay 16 or so, but not 25. That's getting into stupid land. Only possible reason is if I had that exact car back in my 20s or if it used to be grandma's car or some other sentimental reason and wanted to relive that era or something. But hey, that's just bolsters the clean H/O and 442 prices.
