Wasn't this for sale last year? Under 100 hours and $500k? I have always been appreciative of this bad boy.

I never thought they were that good looking but that me and I am not the market anyway.

To me a most of the OL's look better.
Could just be that most have went Cats for performance, or big party CC platforms. Maybe Skater got into the performance V game after it was drying up. Maybe Matt has a better feel for it.
