I like it. And it must be the original color because I seriously doubt they pulled the engine to paint the bay.
 
Would have to have it checked out, of course, because the new paint would also scare me.

Depends on the quality of the repaint. If it was one of those Miracle "let me fill my mouth with paint and spit on it for you" paint jobs I'd be bummed. But if it were shot by a competent paint sprayer (and even Miracle has those now and then) and the QUALITY of the paint was okay, say a $1500--$2500 paint job, and there wasn't too much peel in the paint, that might be okay.
 
Yellow is a very forgiving color, as long as the paint doesn't fall off or go flat.

Battlecruiser... by andre1969

How much, reasonably, should this 1976 Bonneville be worth? I swear I've been seeing it on eBay for several months now. It gets bid up to around $7,000 or so, but never meets reserve, so it always gets re-listed.
 
I always get tempted when I see it bidding around $1000, like it is now, but it's not going to stay there. Now granted, it is a nice car, and should get bonus points for those low miles, if they're legit. But shouldn't $6-7K be more than enough for it?

Those guys were nuts for not taking $7k. A four-door? With more dirt on the floors and engine than I'd expect for 501 miles? You'd think they's send the shop grunt out there with a roll of paper towels and a bottle of 409 if they're wanting to get 'untouched original' money for this thing. You'd think a dealer would know better.

The AMC seller claims it has 258HP. I think he confused his Cubic Inches with HP, as the inline six was 258CI

Hey Shifty
 
They did indeed make a yellow miata in 1992 (I believe it was exclusive to that year). The paint was called Sunburst Yellow. If memory serves, they applied the yellow paint over a standard white miata. It's a pretty rare color with only 1500 or so cars painted that color.

Okay thanks for that. I do vaguely recall that color name but I rarely see a yellow miata. Some people tell me the hardtop alone is worth $1,000 bucks. I could always sell it.
