[REAL 1]

Brent: Is the $145K painted or unpainted? I assumed it was unpainted since you didn't mention paint.

I figured $10k for paint + $30K for engine and drive train. This assumes the $145K price includes all the other "options". Add another $2500 for dealer installation and prep my numbers come to $187.5K out the door before tax. If the foregoing are the numbers then no one is pulling a fast one at a sale price of $187K for a finished car.

When you say the "tooling is some of the original sets" what does that mean? What is a "set"? Are they bucks, parts of bucks, english wheels, jigs...what? Are any subs also involved in panel construction? What about Prices' rights? Before I'd plunk down that kind of money I would want some formal statement as to Prices' rights vis a vis all this so as to make sure my car and $$ don't get held up in some court injunction.
