Uh okay..., but I wouldn't put it in the same category as a 67-1/2. I have a
1970 1600, and the first thing I did was to remove the overside rear
reflectors. I think they're butt-ugly and diminish the otherwise clean looks
of the rear.

I'll have to agree about prices, it all depends on who's looking at the time
they are sold. I've seen some nice rides go for a lot less than others that
don't warrant as high a price. Some people put a lot of love (and money) in
their roadsters and practically gave them away.
