$265,455- US High Price indeed. Looks like totaly restored, how original is hard to say without looking the car over. I wonder how much was invested to restore this car. Perhaps $100,000- and they are now looking to make a very high return on there investment. LOL

Complete smoke and mirrors pricing. Given he just paid 90k ish for it, at an auction - the market has said that's what it's worth. He has a history of buying cars "for himself" but they endlessly sit as stock at high prices. Must be some odd showing off thing that I don't understand.

The engine bay is not so nice in these car. The injection line and the gas linkage could be better for the price. 
Who pays for that price?

Peter, only people with money to spare and those that have no clue what they are looking at I would say and I know most here would agree

Either the market has crashed in the last two weeks or it's a january sale, but it's now a not inconsiderable £45000 cheaper than it was.
