Assuming he has a little room to move on the price, if I were in the market for a slabside I think it would be looking at it closely.

Obviously we have different ideas of what things are worth....or are in very different tax brackets. And I don't care how much he overspent building it, I could build two ERA Slabsides for that.
Probably not (different tax brackets - I am in Arkansas after all) - I would not mind having a nice Kirkham 427 Street Roadster - but I have a nice ERA one that I finished and built myself (partly as a concession to cost) and I'm just hunky-dory with it. But I can still admire a nice Kirkham Roadster (or SPF Slabside) and understand that it may have a market value a little higher than my ERA.
