    I've always felt that taking a picture of a picture was the best way to present something online.

    Lol yes that gives you added comfort the true condition of the car. Especially if the picture was taken within the last 10 years.

    I'd question the seller's claim that only 52 X-100's were built in 1970......

    This may or may not be a fake ad.

    I am their target buyer, and I'd feel dry-raped if I paid 32.5g's for this car.

    Night be a nice 13-15K ride though.

    And if you didn't mind having "just" a 390 - you could also have the base Marauder, which was probably good for a few thousand sales too.

    3,397 of those manufactured....... So, between the 2 types, just over 6,000 were made.
