The original conversation started here because the guy posted on 4ep he had the car and was going to mod it. on 4ep the membership (ncluding moderators), promote, and commend their members who take pristine, low option, or otherwise rare cars and mod them beyond return. the guy was told when he bought the car how rare it was and WHAT it was. he didn't just learn that by accident, he learned it from Tom Tate. he is selling the car because he respects its heritage and has realized it needs to be restored, part of which he learned by the "reception" he got here. i will admit I went a litle overboard on him at first but I was responding in general to the situation due to my experience with the "Hackership" policies at 4ep.
bottom line the car is for sale. it needs to be saved and if it isn't then when it eventually gets hacked and raced we won't have the right to bitch about it.
as for him selling it, he has a right to ask what he wants, and we have a right to have an opinion about his motives. If I had the cash I would have the car, but it is out of the question for me right now. ANYONE that wants to buy this car can store it in my building until you are ready to work on it, (if space is an issue) Bernie are you listening??????????
