Here's another option that would require less risk but more legwork for you:

Figure a little negotiation, $500 for an inspection, $2000 for shipping, 8-10 hours of your time over 4-8 weeks for SB100 registration (you can drive it immediately because you will get a paper tag) and you have a blue/white Superformance for well under $50k. Take care of it and it will be worth about the same when you are done with it.
Or, keep reaching out for other opinions. Either way this thread has been entertaining.  |

With gold nuggets like this I feel you're not sharing often enough with us.
If I were in your shoes hauss, this is exactly how I would approach it!
Still leaves you at least $20k for any upgrades or repairs or a down payment on a motorhome.
Everyone wins, even the wife.
Good luck.
