RE: IML: Ghia/Exner '55 Concept Station Wagon

[Chris Hawkins <imperial1966@xxxxxxxxx>]

The seller is Joe Bortz whose collection of concept
cars is legendary.

http://bortzautocollection.com/

One would assume this car needs a total restoration so
there is nothing for the seller to tell.  Since this
was a one-of-a-kind fully operational vehicle built on
a Mopar chassis by Ghia, and not a static display
stand prop, anything under 300K for the car, as is, is
probably a fair market value.   Especially considering
the car could be worth a million (or two) after
another 250K is poured into it.   

Where is my lottery ticket.....
