Lake rare stamps, is it worth so much because they made such a mistake?

While not questioning the build quality and the general aesthetics of the car, the asking price is aggresive to say the least. I wonder what the spread is between NineMeister's cost to build and the asking price from "Hexagon."

Pretty sure you could have Ninemeister build a top of the line speedster of your own specs out of the lowest mileage cab you could find and have six figures left over.

Actually I purchased my [89] Speedster from Foreign Cars Italia for $39,000 (traded my 98 VR70 Volvo wagon which they valued at $19k plus $20k cash) for it. That itch has been scratched!
