Sorry. I don’t get it. No Mustang is worth that as far as I’m concerned. Apparently someone disagreed.

It’ll go for $10 million some day.

If a 110 year old baseball card of Honus Wagner is worth $8 million, a 50 year old Mustang can be worth $4 million. You are buying history.

There was a Bluebloods episode a few seasons back about that car. Somebody stole it, but then it turns out that the one stolen was a decoy and the real one was safe and sound. Or something like that.

Maybe I could afford the Plymouth Valiant in “Duel”. Just a few tweaks and a paint job, and it will be good as new, 225 slant-six and all!

The greatest high speed chase in movie history. Watch the movie. Steve McQueen was the man.

Not something I'd want to own for that much dinero, but very good to see a 'murican car get its due.

I'd rather have Gary Cooper's Duesenberg SSJ.
