Absolutely ridiculous.

Why?

[Reborn67]

 May have to sell a Kidney for that one.....,

[my 390]

Maybe lots of kidneys?

[Reborn67]

 Can’t quite see the wife signing up for that one..,

[barnett468]

Why?

The price.

[mwizz]

I guess someone will be paying for the story behind the car

[fredm666]

The price.

Then I agree....

Yeah, vehicles like that are targeted at the super rich people that don't care about price or value.. Sure wish i was one of them.

[StephenSLR]

Absolutely ridiculous.

I agree but it's only set at that price because they believe it's possible someone will pay that much for it.

...and EXACTLY like a 1968 California Special with a reproduction $1000.00 Shelby front end with $300.00 reproduction California Special fog lamps, $1000.00 reproduction rims, a $6000.00 CJ engine, and a set of $200.00 vinyl roof moldings added, and all for only $850,000.00.   

I could buy a coupe and build that exact car as a show car for a total of around $65,000.00, so maybe if someone pays their price, I should build some "tribute" models and offer them for the low, low, price of only $199,999.00 (taxes not included).

Yeah but Barnie special addition and Carroll Shelby 'Black Hornet' sort of don't have the same ring to them. So for your $65,000 cost you might get $59,999 for them.
