He was selling the car to start work on another Cobra. I stuck around to see what this puppy would end at.

Initial bidding started at $70k, but went backwards until $20k; a few seconds later it went up to $45K-$52k and figured it would not go up any further. There was a reserve that the owner wanted to get - $62k.

Final bidding price was...$70K - SSSooolllddd!!
I do not understand that (I am not bashing Mid-States), how is a Mid-States worth $70K? I would think you could buy a normal Mid-States for 20-40K.
