It¹s a stretch to say anyone ³stole" that car at $40K.  There are multiple
small rust issues, and it looks mostly neglected, so all of the usual
stuff is going to be bad - wheel bearings, steering rack, window gears,
fuse box, ball joints, brakes, clutch slave, and so on.  It reminds me of
everything I¹ve corrected with my car.

Michael - I don¹t mean to call you out, but when someone says they stole a
car, it suggests they got it for way below the value.  That is not a $60K
car, and $80-100K for that car would be stupid money.


This one has a buy-it-now of $45,900, and it¹s in much better shape.

So, I would say that $40K is about right in today¹s market.

Like everyone else, I¹ve noticed prices rising, though.  I wouldn¹t call
it skyrocketing.  I would call it an upward trend, with an occasional bump
when the Pantera is in the press (Leno, Ring Brothers, My Ride Rules).
