WELL.....THE PRICED DROPPED FROM $165,000 TO $159,900 ON AUTO TRADER. $5000 LESS IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. FEW MORE MONTHS AND IT MIGHT MAKE IT TO REALITY

That car ended on ebay at 75K but I think it finally sold for 85K. Agreed it makes that car a bargain, wish i was in the market when that was for sale.

$85K is damn cheap especially with all the miles... Like I care - if Alex and Dan were the Caretakers of this car then to me that adds Renn Providence to this car. And it sure is a Special Car because of it's popularity and in the right circles people know about it. Just wait and see what it can get in 20 years.

I just want to get my hand on their new test mule with the 4.1L conversion. See what that car can do around The Ring with Walter Rohl.

Cool car, but I think I'd take a .2 RS for that money.

Who wouldn't? Current valuations of .2 RS models with less than, for example, 10K miles are running about twice that $85K (and more) at Dealerships!

Agreed - i talked to someone at sharkwerks about the car not sure who when i got the 85K quote. motor work alone was $50K. I believe joe rogan has a similar car build. car was listed on craigslist for at least a month or more at 90K.

Most people don't know what they are passing up. All the value in these cars is in the Future, not now unfortunately. Like some of the Specialty Chevy's that came out of specific dealership's back East in the late 60's. So are these car's, the 3.9L's and the 4.1L's! No doubt.

Remember, racing Ferrari's back in the late 60's and early 70's could be had for low, in today's money but back then the price for a caddy, $20,000. Twenty Grand for the car and Two grand for the hauler; now the preserved Ferrari racing car is worth between $6MM-$9MM. But really who know's which way the market will go in the future? Not many Near shore shops doing what Sharwerks does; there are a couple of others of course too (Champion in Florida with Turbo's). At this point we can only dream and a ZKermit and that Joe Rogan car are more than worth the money that they have to sell them for at the moment. I would jump at the chance if I were in the market; it's a no brainer. But people want the unmolested single owner non tracked cars with less than 10K miles. Can't say I don't blame them but something like a 3.9L at the prices they are currently selling at is silly. Though I will admit - you need to have a Large Kitty you can tap just in-case of mechanical gremlins. And you know there is only one place you're getting those cars worked on...

Another $10k lumped on after the bidding closed. How did that work out?

The car in question was sold at 75k as stated on eBay. RS enginelid and carbon wing was not part of the auction, but was added for 5k.
Helluva deal.

Seems the asking price of $165k wasn't market price then......

car was not sold on Ebay. I know the high bidder at auction end and they did not even contact him. They would not even consider anything near that 122,500 number.. not sure what it sold for or if it did. Their website shows it as pending
