1969 Torino Cobra SportRoof For Sale

It's a great running and driving car. I retired last December and am keeping a close eye on where I spend my money which means sadly the Torino has to go. I originally tried Hagerty's auction with no luck, but now I just have it on their classifieds section (link below) with about 80 pics. I'd like to get $36,000 (I have way more into it, as I'm sure most of you do!) If you know anyone that might be interested, please let them know by sending them the link. Thanks!
