[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Blue 74 Hornet X on eBay at $2000+...reserve is NOT met...C'mon!

["lumina333" <lumina333@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well said...someone else IS going to be paying that price. Apparently 
it is worth it to them. I am surprised that the reserve is higher 
than the amount already bid on this vehicle. If someone was restoring 
the car to stock, then yes, matching numbers matter. Been there, done 
that. My current project is for F-U-N and will be the way *I* want it 
with what *I* want in it. So it will be worth it TO ME. Resale value  
& judge's opinions be damed. -Lu-

What gets me the reserve is not yet met. How much does he think
