That doesn't sound at all insane to me. This was a collectible the day it
was built, and it's been kept in stasis for 15 years. With the current
economy, it's a hell of a time to bring it out, but that may be the reason
that it IS coming out at this time.

The starting point of $100K is not unreasonable to me. I would start by
asking the moon and then settle on the best offer, of course. But putting it
up for sale with an asking price of $50K - that would be insane.

Agreed... doesn't sound to insane either... hey, if he can get 100K
for it, more power to him! I'm sure there are at least a couple
people out there that would being willing to drop that kind of coin on
it...

There was a Grand National on e-bay not to long ago, that was in the
same price range... it was still brand new! In fact it had never been
titled from the dealership...

I frequently watch the Barrett-Jackson auto auctions on Speed TV (cable),
and it wouldn't surprise me if the starting bid on this vehicle was 100K.
Lots of folks with lots of money attend these auctions, and it's not
unusual to see one person buying several cars and spending upwards of
500K in an evening. When I win the lottery ... :-)

I've heard that the alcohol at Barrett-Jackson helps loosen the
wallets a bit too! LOL! And people do get so caught up in bidding...
heck, i know I do at the local fund raisers.... Friend of mine who
attend the BJ auto auctions talked to a couple winning bidders... they
admit that they had spent more than they had planned...

I have to ask. After you spend a 100 grand on this thing, what do you
do with it?
