I think there were a lot more factors than it just being a ragtop bringing only 19K.

1. Advertising...it wasn't exposed as it could have been, seeing how the owners did not know the rarity or that it was even a 455 HO.

2. Color. Had that been a more "popular" color, could have seen a significant price increase.

3. Options. It was a lower option car, but it had the unique options.

4. Non endura may have had some impact on desirablilty.

Someone got a really good deal for this car because of some of the items listed above.
