I owned 80363 55 Speedster and at gas stations always got the "nice replica" or "which kit car company is that". I sold it to Nicolas Cage and he thrashed it, but now that it's a previously owned by a "celebrity" car it recently sold for 197,000.

Rob, gorgeous Speedster...Wilhoit would not restore the pre-A in this thread for less than $200k these days, I'm guessing. But since it sounds like Joe got the car for free, (more or less), it might be worth it.
