I'd love one of those but the pricing has crossed the threshold where I could convince my wife to let one be my daily driver.

This one's well past $30k...


Which is crazy. Like an NFT you can drive.  But if you do, it's like an NFT.  So what's the point then?  :think:

I have never seen one of these in person. Interesting vehicles. A hint from Honda of what was to come.

The Mentor's Thunderbird is on BaT! Saw that car in person back in 2012, sharing a garage with a certain yellow TR6... It's every bit as stunning in person as in pictures.

Oh yeah. We stayed at his place for a week back in 2012 - it backs unto the national forest, not far from Sedona's landmark church. Postcard scenery all over the place!

In the last 20 minutes of the auction, the top bid went from $156,000 to $230,000.  Fun to watch.

They weren't insane then.

That's when I bought mine.

$30k doesn't seem too bad for what you're getting. What would the operating costs be like?  Would it nickel and dime you to death?

Yea..I think that's a fair price.

I didn't find any of my Lexus operating costs to be prohibitive.

Waaayy deep in unobtainium / unfinancium territory, but Facel-Vegas are so freakin' elegant  :love:

I knew about them since I was a kid, pre-internet, as they appeared in Michel Vaillant comic books. Did not know they made 4-doors though.
