Good points. However, the principle of "Supply and Demand" will always prevail, whether we agree, like it, or NOT. Things are what they are, and there will always be profit-takers, etc. The car is worth ALOT, that's all I can say, and whether I was chosen or not to buy one is another subject altogether. My attitude always was "what will be will be". If they select me to buy one, great. If not, well... I'll just do something else. We can't let ourselves get too emotional over these market prices. This formula has proven to prevail with all the Ferrari special editions among others. In terms of Mecum's involvement, I agree with the judge. I know I graduated from law school over 30 years ago, but they have no contractual obligation whatsoever to Ford. The seller/owner on the other hand......well, we shall see.
