Hey, Ken and List: My dear brother is on his way to California to visit
kids and tells me he is going to look at the car! We too, had been watching
the sale when it reached l5K. You have really gotta want something badly to
pay that much, or you just won the lottery and have much to throw away. I
love these cars, but wouldn't sell my collection to get one. It all boils
down to how much you want it and what you are willing to pay, not anything
to do with old car values or blue books or whatever. I always look at cars
from the perspective of what I personally would give to own the car, not
someone else's opinion. I am happyto say I have been very fortunate in
finding most of the cars I have always wanted, at a price I have been
willing to pay. You can too, just don't let your emotions cloud your
judgement! Happy Holidays to all.....Ron
