OUCH?

This looks pretty cool but is this a realistic price?

Wow, a rare Amberglo finish!!

I think the price is too high, but that's just my opinion.

Very nice! If the finish is original (and all the parts are original) and there are no structural or cosmetic issues then the price is pretty much at the upper end of the zone. My research, shabby as it is, suggests that top-notch '60s 4005s have been fetching $8,000 to $10,000 over the last 18 months.

I do have the impression that the price has reached a plateau.

I like it but I couldn't ever afford one at that price.

It looks to be in wonderful condition. If that's the original case, you are looking at a closet queen. Pricey, but for the right person who knows. These days nothing surprises me.
