Who buys this type of tribute for this type of money?

It is a well thought out build but it is more retro than an actual ST; 3.5L v 2.4L, modern suspension and cooling etc......
An impatient person. Someone unwilling to undertake the project but who loves the end result. Not me.

I know of several instances where people owned actual special cars and built reps to drive instead of putting the miles on the original. 901 Shop has done a couple of those, as have others. Years ago I had a client in the UK with an actual ST and while he drove the car, he spent nearly $100k doing up an engine and gearbox to put into the car and put the numbers matching stuff on the shelf. People with real money do things that don't make much sense to us punters.
