    Too bad Mike's ad is 3 years old or so. I'd be happy to pay $155K for that car (today).

    Why pay Sheehan's $155,000 when you can buy the same Lusso for only $34,500 on craigslist?

    So I email the guy back with a link to Sheehan's page (basically, calling him out on the Scam), and this is what he sends me back:

    Wow! Maybe it *IS* for real!!!

    Sorry to admit that I'm responsible for the cockeyed smile! I bought this car with LF crashed, and picked up a LF fender from a local "parter". The body shop did a terrible job. I'm surprised that no-one has straightened it out; the lousy repair was done 30 years ago.
