and not especially well.

While I never would have bought it or suggested that somebody else should, 
the fact is that the buyer would have had a difficult time replicating that 
car elsewhere for only $45K.   Start with a tired Pantera, buy all the GT5-S 
kit, have it all welded on and painted, add the new wheels and tires, and 
you're well over $45K.

So even if the buyer paid 'too much' for it, you can see how somebody could 
convince themselves it was a wise decision.   But it took several years for 
that buyer to materialize, just showing that there is a butt for every 
seat, and even if it takes you years to sell a car at a higher-than-reasonable 
price, if you stick to your guns somebody is eventually likely to come along 
and take it.
