Strange, some guy on another site had it and was all over how great it is and that he would never sell it. I am sure it's a decent car, I jut wonder how it ended up at a dealership?


Edit: same guy I meant Mark. He did say 4000 cars and that this was the best one ever....

Well the guy listed in the PHR story works for the dealership in some way since he is on their website.

And since the car was listed for sale on thier site September 9th then I guess his plan was to flip it all along..

Sort of funny that it ended up at a lot just a couple blocks from Best of Show.

That makes sense then. And for him to have had "over 4000 cars" it seems to make even more sense that he would be a dealer...

Over 80K invested sounds like crazy to me. It is a fairly stock car with a basic smallblock. I have no idea how they could have invested $80K in that thing.

That's sounds about like someone I heard that said they had $36K invested in a stock rebuild Iron head Ford 460.

That's a great car.Some one needs to lift the 1972 & older rule at good guys.That way the car could really be enjoyed on some autox events.I really like 3rd gen camaro's but most of the really nice events in my area have this rule of 72 & older.You would think with car counts down people would wake up and smell the coffee.
