[Shotimes] Should I destroy a 91+??

[van Oss]

I remember this line from my wedding:  What the Ford has joined, let no man tear asunder.  Or something like that.   :-)

Know this:  When Al offers this Plus at $1500, he is offering to take a loss.  He knows that he can separately sell the hood,
spoiler, rod shifter, drivetrain, and maybe odd bits for more than $1500.  But God-fearing man that he is, Al dreads eternal
damnation more than the loss of a few bucks.  So he has offered us this chance.  Let this moment not pass without anyone realizing
how decent Al is being here.

Poor Al.  He bears the brunt of this terrible lesson in SHO Economics 101:  Rare as it might be, the SHO market is extremely, very,
dangerously miniscule even for an intact SHO Plus, because of 160K and all the needs that that implies.

Unless this Plus is mint like the Mallinson Mocha (it's not), it will never have collector value.  At $1500 there are just too many
other options available to most buyers who want a fixer-upper opportunity.

p.s. Al, this Plus is not yet on the website, right?  I looked.  What color?  Do I sound interested?  Remember what Ben Frnaklin
said:  "He who lives on a diet of hope, dies farting."

p.s. If Mallinson keeps his Mocha Plus low miles, mint, and stock, he may be the last man standing with a V6 SHO that has a sale
value higher than bird food.

In the past I have received 'hate' mail from some members of this group because they think I shouldn't part out certain SHOs. Well
here's the delema; I offer them for sale when I get them and if nobody wants them, I can't afford to just keep them.
