I have been building high end cars for many years and I alway tell guys the same thing. Unless you have more money then you know what to do with build a car that everyone wants so that if you go to sell it you can make some good money on it. If you want a Pontiac and have deep pockets then build the car you want. If you are looking to build a car and drive it for a few years and sell it buy what sells good.

When you build a car for yourself and enjoy it then the sell is not as important as Frank used this car to help him with advertisment for his shop over the last few years. It did very well for him so in the end he wins no matter what.

I am sure he would have wanted more but that is how auctions go.
I didn't think you were knocking the car at all. It is hard to get the right "tone" of a conversation through text alone. I do get what you are saying about the value, the use of the car, the price and how the auction works. I also understand how the car helped get Prodigy noticed even more.
I was just thinking it should have brought more. If it was a sale to another buyer then they got a serious deal. I don't think I would have sold it for that either.
