My client paid the asking price of $ 54,995.00 from Vanguard / He bought it off of eBay from them - here was the info - Not sure what car you were looking at in the 40's but it was not this one

With all due respect sorry, I just don't see it for that kind of $$. But that's just me.

It most definitely was that one. I wasn't interested in it because I wanted the Bondurant built SPF next to it and they said "would you be interested for $48K?"

Here is a link to the Bondurant SPF they had at the same time.

An interesting side note on this particular car, Vanguard did not sell the car on Ebay, as the last auction they had on this car (CLICK HERE) the car was only bid up to $33,601.50, with the reserve not met. This was on May 19, 2014 .

Would you buy a car from that schmuck?
Sorry, I tried to watch the video but had to hurl!
I can't stand a sales pitch or salesman like that. Maybe just me, but I doubt it.
Actually pretty funny just to watch him try to hock his wares...

Honestly the guy in the vids was cool in person. The vids are cheesy though.
