Quote: I must have missed it, but.... Why the fire sale? Is there some measure of desperation to force such a quick sale at this price?
Not particularly quick/fire sale.
It's a car with a limited audience/buyers. Buyer has to be after similiar goals and understand what it takes to get them.
Not an easy car to sell in the current condtion. Doesn't look pretty and shiny. All purpose. No frills, no catchy B-S name given to the car, No Pro Touring/Bling B-S, no big "name" builder behind it, no clever PR team behind it. No one's going to pay the cost of all the trick inside stuff done to it. Just like most modified cars and race cars.
For instance this car sold for around $25-28K. And it's a numbers matching red/red formula S car. And it's got creature comforts and can back it self up at the track: http://www.carcraft.com/featuredvehicles/116_0507_1968_plymouth_barracuda_s340/ It would take an easy $10K+ to make the Valiant look like the Barracuda. And it would still be a 68 Valiant and not a 68 Formula S 340 4spd car.
