Saw this car up close during the motorshow, even took some snaps (they were all blurry!). In general, the car looked like it needed quite some work, a complete repaint, with cracking fibreglass and paint. The interior looked worn and could do with a refresh job. In all, I think $67k was about right, you get a car you can drive straight away and then during winter you strip it down, spend $20-30k and get it looking like a million bucks.

I thought about that car quite a bit on my way home, "could have been on the road by now with this car instead" type of thoughts, but came to the conclusion that I am still better off building my car, my way (although I haven't registered my car yet!).
