Evidently asking 7 figures?

Several years ago I represented a member of a family that won one of the big multi state lotteries. As I was ending my work, another member of the family bought one of these cars for something approaching the half million range. I told his lawyer that I strongly approved of the sale at the time, just because it was so cool, never expecting it to be a sound financial decision. I just thought that if you had that kind of money you should enjoy it. It sounds like a it’s turned out to be a good investment, too.

Am I the only one thinking that Foose actually raped an ugly car and made it worse?

I always wanted the mustang Steve McQ drove in Bullet. I think I could make a decent replica if I wanted to. I like a reasonably light car with a V8. I think about getting one of the new over the top Mustangs as well. It is a particular itch I haven't scratched.

The same can be said for the countless 67 Camaro restomods. Put enormous wheels and tires on it and somehow they turn into "meats" and 700 HP engines and of course a totally new chassis and a over the top interior, and you have yet another TV show like so many others. Same formula at every shop.

The good news, is some owner is paying the bills and it costs me nothing, so have at it. It is just a car, and it ain't my car or my money.
