The car sold for $47,000 dollars..................


Yep! He watched too many auction shows. You don't actually get to drive the cars that sell for several hundred thousand dollars or more.



What I want to know is, how the hell do you get into $200K into a restoration on a car that only cost$3k to begin with? How many cars could you buy for that.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
