C'mon, guys! Stop saying how nice this one is. It's making it harder for Sandy to sell #77! ;)

A healthy discussion is fine with me.....Buyers all have different motivations for buying a particular vehicle....Like I said, I would love to have 2 R's-One for collection, one for driving....I would rather own a track car with documented race history and wins, rather than a car like #88, that I don't see has any documentation of racing history in sanctioned events.....I am sure the car will sell eventually, but it's not the car I would want for my collection with investment in mind......I am just irritated at Gillingham Ford for inserting their ad just before mine ends....They said they weren't aware that my car was on ebay when they placed their ad....that's complete B-S.........For the few 93R's that end up on ebay, spacing the ads is better for the sellers, of course, so they don't compete against themselves, but obviously an advantage to potential buyers.....The hardest part is putting market values on these cars........Hagerty values are a pretty good guide, with a #1 car at about 59K and #2 at about 43,500.00......I would say the #88 Car is about right at 45-50K.....It's hurt in my opinion by rock damage and lack of vehicle documentation........and little documented track history.....Personally I think it would be closer to 45K for a really attractive price....but with a dealer involved you have additional markup....I would tend not to buy from a dealer if possible, but sometimes there is no alternative........

Yeah. Since the R doesn't have a back seat, you could put a 'blow up' bed back there. lol
Just kidding.
