I can’t see how a rational person would pay that much. I would generally think if a person could afford that kind of money for a classic car, or any car, they would be smart enough to do a small amount of research and not pay anywhere near that. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 20, 2024, at 7:35

“A fool and his money are soon parted…” But you have to admit, it is a beautiful example. But not worth anywhere near that in my opinion. If I had a $100k budget to throw away on any car I wanted, I would be looking for an original Acura NSX. -D > On Jan 20, 2024, at 4:53 PM, Kaleb Striplin
