He paid $150k for parts and to have someone do all the work.  Why would you
do that and then sell it?
He's going to take a big loss.

The Ultimate Dream Syncro ground up restoration   Price: $125,000

Not mine.

Well, I just had to write since this is the highest asking price I have ever
seen.  I am sure it is very, very nice, and so I can't say it is overpriced.
It is just the highest I've ever seen.  Some things are very attractive,
such as custom interior panels, and long list of upgrades.  But oddly the
spare wheel doesn't match the other 4 mounted wheels.

Not to discount the incomparable culture, character and love for Vangaons,
but in this price range I would definitely be comparing to a brand new
Sportsmobile.

Maybe if I add two TVs to my Syncro it will be worth $99,999.99?
