Thank God it's fake.

Hopefully no one was injured in this, but, at least, we didn't lose a real one.

The funny part is that the money they are asking would be for a replica in very good condition. As it sits it would be maybe 10% of that value.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

The retail value is before burning. They are auctioning it.

Hmmm. Snake not better than rodents?

This car was a whole ecosystem, snake on the right, huge anthill in the left floorwell, and under the hood was a very active mousehouse.

Snake was just fattening 'em up. And then you, the apex predator, arrived.

I left him alone, didn't buy the car, it's probably still sitting there. It has been sitting in the guys yard since the 80's. He said "B Coupes are bringing $75,000" I agreed some were, but it would take $100,000 to get his car to $75,000, so do I get $25,000 for taking it?
Seriously, I made him a fair offer of cash, he declined.

He can always take it with him. Many do try.
