Tiff i thought you were joking when you said Parkers but clearly you werent. IN the trade that is a comic book. Try glasses or CAP for a true value.

I would agree, but specialist cars tend to make their own markets.

Try most high performance cars, and CAP and glasses don't even get close to true market values.
