It will be a tough sale with lots of nice cars around for 25K It needs to make its way over to a MEcum or BJ show for maximum :dollar: .Lets see what kind of #'s come out of this weekends Kruse sale.With all this the worst is behind us talk Ive seen wholesale prices creeping up again but yet to see it on the retail level.
I think i have a pretty good idea where that car came from,and while it is very nice no way it brings those bucks in todays market.I may have sold mine too cheap but that is way overpriced..uzzled:
