Don't get me wrong Charley, I totally agree with the idea a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. However, I also can see why several of our regular members would question such money for what is merely a "nice" car.
Reality 101... the collector car market has gotten so crazy that people have stooped to several dishonest practices from shill bidding on eBay to trying to pass of clones as the real thing. As collectors and enthusiasts it is our right to question everything until proven otherwise. Unlike the court of law, in the court of collector cars its guilty until proven innocent (or proven by documentation). Thus explains why so many of us are skeptical of every "sweet" deal that comes down the pipe. We might not get all the great bargins others get by being skeptical; however we also get crapped-on far less.
I'm not saying Mav, or the seller fit into this category. However as some of us don't know either gentleman, one should expect naysayers to be skeptical, or at the least voice their opinions.
