An FE would put it in the replica market and there are much better replicas at that price.

Post the link to that one! Wow! If accurate there really is one born every minute.

It's not accurate; the Euro/USD exchange rate at the time would make it $84K+... I stand corrected.

Although, it may have been the dual roll bars that garnered the exorbitant price.

It was likely the liquor that garnered the exorbitant price for that monstrosity. Ugh. Clearly not your average Chebbie modder though. Clearly he overpaid by a just a wee tad IMHO.

Overpaid? Come on, those cars were $743,000 new.

As far as the HP, let's just say I'm skeptical. They also claim a curb weight of under 2200 lbs... that's a lie. If they used the same "correction factor" for the HP as the weight, it would actually have about 750 HP.

Have others perhaps said this you in the past...?

By the way, CPA?! I'd have sworn you were a sermon...

Nope and nope.
