Remember Gang...supply and demand...Bugeye Sprites were crushed because they
were not worth 150.00...Alfa Guiliettas too...and...v-12 Ferraris...No one
wanted an old Ferrari because they were too expensive to fix or maintain..in
1987 a 250 GTE was selling for 2 thousand bucks..In 1990 they were
100,000.00...and look at what's happening with the semi-muscle cars now..!
