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.<BR>

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.<BR>
