At 9k, it might be a scam. At 90K, it's way beyond wishful thinking.
Somebody was smoking something while watching a Barrett-Jackson auction and
got a little too excited.

"Hmmm. If that showroom-impeccable splittie sold for over $100,000, then my
Syncro--with 4 wheel drive, two engines and a bra--has to be worth almost
as much. Plus, it's not as old."
