Lane,

The guy bought the car for somewhere near $1800 (I'd guess less). Are you trying to say that he's put anywhere near $3000 worth of work into it?

The Idaho car, which is extremely rare (not that I care, I buy my cars because I like them) is being sold by someone who isn't affliated with either site that we know of. The seller would originally have taken closer to 2K for it, per members that have called about it. It's obviously going for more for that. You know the whole story about demand for something. We have no idea what was originally paid for the car, but the asking price certainly wasn't anywhere near $5K.

No one is asking you to keep to yourself, but to defend someone who you don't even know, based on your perception of what is "name calling", seems a bit odd to me. The way you did it doesn't work here. Send (or respond) to a PM and you would have gotten it figured out without the mess.

That FHP car, as it sits, is a $3K car all day long. These things aren't gold coins or winning lottery tickets.

That's not what I heard.

Dedicated to the promotion, protection, and restoration of the 1982-1993 Special Service Police Mustang.

Who doesn't get it? I don't see the word exploitation in there. Buying an SSP to keep it from getting it raced out is protection. Buying an SSP for cheap and flipping it on ebay to the highest bidder is exploitation.
