Value

4.0/55 of 5 reviewersstrong consensus

$60,000 you're not buying a car you're buying a time machine that only goes to 1997 I think it's worth every penny

positive · Regular Car Reviews · ▶ 3:13

people are paying upwards of fifty thousand dollars for a clean example of an integrity bar

Savagegeese · ▶ 0:41

When you approach cars through the lens of pursuing an experience rather than just pursuing spec sheets, you end up with a very unique eclectic garage
