It was owned by a guy named Ron, and I had spoken to him a number of times about the car going back a year or so ago. It's hard to discuss price without seeing the car in person, but I had told him at the time his car has been advertised nationally for 18 months at 37.5K and had not sold, so I thought that the market was letting him know it was priced too high. I told him I would not get on a plane to come see the car if his price was firm. Without mentioning a specific amount he said the price was negotiable. It was hard for us to hook up due to his schedule (he traveled a great deal) and I eventually bought my Palomino Copper 70 Formula. I called him to tell him I had bought a car and wished him well. I spoke to him about 6 months later and he said he had sold the car. A short time later I saw it was going to be auctioned at Barrett Jackson. I always figured it to be a low 30's car. After the seller pays his 10% sellers fee his net gain would be just over 30K, so he may not have made any money on it. Cool car.
