[Shotimes] Re: Shogun on eBay

[Donald Mallinson]

As with all things collectible, the car is worth what that 
one individual will pay for it.

What holds the car down is the fact that it is made from a 
Festiva and looks odd.

What holds the car UP is the fact that is is one of seven, 
well built, FAST and Jay Leno, collector of note has two of 
them.(or did have, may only have one now, I am not sure 
about that).

They cost a LOT new because of the custom work.  That price 
does not equate to a high value now.  Personally, I would be 
interested somewhere south of 20 grand, but not at that 
point and up.  I will watch the auction with interest, the 
last car to go up did not sell on e-bay but was sold in a 
private deal later...remember the blue one?  I called on 
that one and came close to pulling the trigger just because 
it is history that I would like to have with some of the 
other SHO history I try to collect.

I really have better places for 20 grand than that right now 
though.
