I don't remember the price, I think $175. I didn't even call. How's that for self control?
May have been my listing, though the Competition in my possession needed some cleaning on the rusted chrome bits and some attention to the paint on the frame. That sale was penance for my own VLW addiction. I traveled about 1.5 hour round trip to look at it, and simply couldn't leave empty handed. I didn't get far on the restoration. Oh, and I didn't really profit from it. Just enough to cover my petrol, time and a small (very small) finder's fee.
