I saw it at the MSRA Back to the 50s show last month. It was at the auction there and it sold for around $5,000 so someone is trying to make a big profit.  It's not bad but not as great as the seller makes it sound.  Lance Johnson told me he's pretty sure it's one they restored in the '80s.  It has overdrive but I could not find a relay or KD switch on it and the tag indicates it was installed after the car was sold.  It actually has the original Caribbean plaid interior - no rips or tears.  It is pretty nice.
