[DeTomaso] [EXTERNAL] Re: This will buff out, no problem!

[Jerry Knotts]

I know someone that paid more than 16k for an early thirties Bugatti 
firewall with the factory number plate.  He built a completely accurate 
car to put the plate on and it is considered a concours restoration.  
The plate seems to have a better value now.

What the market will bear.
