I can tell you this, he is either loaded, or he has a ready buyer and he's going to flip.

There seems to be no end to the $$$$$ this year at B-J . There should be lots of money around for universal health care in the USA .

He's in his forties, and plans to resto-mod it. It'll be back next year to sell at a higher price. I don't blame him; it'll be kewl with 17's on a C-4 suspension.

The market seems to be in a definite upswing in prices. Or at least they sure seem going higher.
