I was made in 1963, in better shape and I'm not even worth north of 200k myself!

Spending counterfeit
incentive, wasting
precious time and health.

Placing value on the
worthless, disregarding
priceless wealth.

Holy *****! What a windfall for the seller! I bet if he had known he had one of the six SuperDuty LeMans coupes from 1963, he would have taken better care of it. Somebody is going to spend another 1/4 million on restoring it.
