Isn't Joe Bortz the guy that was outbid on the 3 mil Olds at Barrett-Jackson ? He should just offer the car to the guy that out bid him.

I don't want to get too picky here. Pretty neat car to be sure. Not something I would want even IF I could afford it. However, the following quote from the listing is somewhat curious.

"THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST AMERICAN POST-WAR CONCEPT CARS TO EVER BE OFFERED."

Isn't virtually every concept car a one of one. How can this one be more "rare" than the others?

Again, not trying to pick the car apart. Just brushing up on my smart a$$ skills so I don't get rusty.

Keep in mind that they are trying to sell it. Sales pitches usually contain fluffed-up language in an attempt to maximize profit/emotional response/impulse bidding/etc.

I think that exact topic has been the subject of a heated discussion or two on this board
