Don't know if he still has that car, but can guarantee you that if he does, he likely has received many times over his $15k in fun factor.
I remember being severely chided for paying $24,000 in 1986 for a yellow and white 1971 Hemicuda convertible that needed paintwork. Everyone thought I was crazy. And when I sold it a year and a half later, after the restoration for double that amount, they all yelled at me for taking advantage of poor, old, Otis Chandler.....
