doesn’t pass the smell test
The collector car market is often subject to fraud and manipulation. As the nostalgia group grows older - the value drops. So guys in their late 50s who buy these cars would be buying cars of their youth. So I guess Pacers and Gremlins are hot now. ;-)
Guys buying cars from the 1950s are probably in their 70s now. This means this car is probably work $70,000 at teh most.
Most collectors are usually in their late 40’s to early 60s in age.
