Back around '87, I nearly bought a Buick Regal T Type with that color. With the turbo V6, it was 2nd only to the Vette in the 1/4. The Vette narrowly won. It had sat on a dealer lot for close to a year. They wouldn't go down any on the price, however.

I'm just noticing the axles are at the same spot on the trim baseboards behind but both don't seem to go up the wall quite as far as each other.

It's hard to make a Merlin that unappealing. I'm really curious about this frame (not $900 curious).

The guy in Carmel IN had been selling (overpriced) bikes for as long as I've been in the vintage bike hobby (at least five years).

Ah! I've never had reason to expand my search outside Ohio's borders, and this is my first encounter with the listings. I thought some of you might be interested in the Paramount listed (obviously not at the listed price, but that's not my business). Also, since I'm not looking for the bikes, didn't realize that they were generic. Apparently, I'm part of this guy's target (until I'm armed with fastidious research from here and elsewhere).

I'm fully aware that a pro level frame will not make a rider like me any faster, and would not spend $1000 on a bike!
