Ha ha. I was always wondering what kind of shape that car was REALLY in!
Unless it was really concourse from the ground up, your offer was probably a
fair one. That is, until we keep mentioning that it was in a movie! The
PO was probably counting on that little tidbit to ratchet up the value.
Wonder if he ever got it?
