Yes I also wanted it and missed it. I guess what frustrates me is that a few legitimate enthusiasts wanted this car to use and enjoy and instead a dealer jumps in straight away and now flips the car for over 30k profit in a couple of months with no value add. I know its a free market and all but its getting hard with all the dealers trolling everything, pretending to be collectors etc.
