No offense taken but just to set the record straight on couple of items.
Know one has heard me say this car is worth 150 or 160 or 170K. Because I don't know what the car is worth. There was a lot of discussion that night at Sam's and on this site as to what the car
may be worth. I've been asking more questions about it's value than answering questions about it's value. I appreciate all the input I've received from members of this site and feel I have a better understanding now than I did three weeks ago. But, the reserve set on this car is nowhere near 160K. I put a lot of thought into what would be a fair price for this car and I think I'm close. But, the only way to know is to put it out there and find out.
Late BrakeU2 I can assure you my motives for selling the car have nothing to do with income dependency or Microsoft trust fund babies. The fact is I'm just not the right collector for this car. I knew that soon after I bought it. It's just to original, to nice and to low a mileage for me to enjoy driving and I like to drive my cars. But, I wasn't going to let it sit in a barn for another 6 years. I paid the previous owner his asking price with no negotiation. If there's money to be made I make no apologies. I don't know any member of this site that feels they should sell a car for less than fair market value to be considered a legitimate collector. That's all I expect for this car. Also, suggesting that putting a car on ebay somehow diminish it's pedigree I think gives ebay more importance then it deserves. Ebays just a tool to get 10,000 people in 7 days to look at a car you have for sale. I doubt this car will sell on ebay. But I bet it sells to someone that saw it on ebay or this site.
No big deal just wanted to clarify a couple of things and put in my .02
