67 is the year I wanted a vette i could not afford one then and still cant now.
3.2m is that plus fees etc
Any one who spend that much on any car need some psychological assessment
in my opinion

My perspective is this
If its worth 3.2m now next year it has to be worth 3.65m another wise it's a bad investment
Compound that for five years see where it will be .
If one can't get in it and trash it around the track it's just a big expensive garden gnome.

Couldn't have said it better Bfit!!

Each to their own, but I didn't buy 'em to look at 'em.

Hey Hey Big Gazza Thus thus not all of us a tarred with the same brush and just as well it would be a sad place if all of us just wanted to flog the shyter out of everything

Don't worry Jethro I'm a lover at heart also, not a fighter, so I always leave something up the sleeve. You can drive 'em hard without flogging 'em to death!

True, it could very well go down in price but that's the market for ya.

I'm sure the owner is thrilled to bits and that's probably worth 3.2m in his books; if he can throw that sort of money around there probably isn't much else that he hasn't paid for that gets his rocks off as much.
