Jeff, I think your car looks great. I am shopping the market looking for a deal like many others I am sure. My opinion goes like this on the stale market. I own a Tattoo Studio and have been in the business for 21 years. People do not Need Tattoos, They Want them. When the Economy gets funny like it has, People start to just get the things they Need! Competition has increased in my Field immensely. When I first opened my studio 18 years ago, There were only 2 other studios in all of Philadelphia. Today there are over 65 Shops operating Legally and an estimated 350 underground scratchers just trying to Tattoo. The more I look into different Replica Mfgrs., The more I am blown away at the number of People making these cars. Thus at some point The market becomes Flooded with Cars that are not Practical for every day use and cost as much as a Mercedes that is practical. Harleys are hitting the same problem. Market loaded with $25,000 dollar bikes selling for $15,000. Why?? Again, Flooded Market, People lose interest or priorities change, And it is a lot of money sitting in the garage waiting for Sunday. In your favor is the fact that you have built 7 cars which gives you great credibility. And I can see it looks very nice. Also I think the Small block thing might have something to do with it. Mid lifers looking for a bigger penis?? who knows. I personally have been looking at the FIA cars and am gtiving them great thought. 2 years ago I got a BF Goodrich poster, hung it in my Garage and thought, WOW, Nice original COBRA 427!! Last week I looked at the Poster and noticed It had Lug nuts, Roll Bar went Forward, and it is not a Real COBRA! But it looks NICE!! I would have never known had I not started researching These cars extensively on this site. Enough Rambling. Have a Great week!
