[s-cars] deteriorating clearcoat

[mlp on D530]

I don't know that I can agree Tom.  IIRC Stodard's "justification" for the
28k price, it was for just as you say, a "restoration"   For those on the
list that have been dumping this kind of money into an Ur-S, it's hardly
been, IMO, for restorative purposes.  Now if Stodard had said, $28k for a
full on RS2 or better mit big brake kit, V8 Torsen rear end, 6 speed, HID
conversion, big FMIC, coil overs plus bigger front & rear stabilizer bar, a
Happer Polish up etc., etc. I think $28k is a bit more understandable.  For
a stock car with, what was it, @ 100k on the odo?  Personally I find it a
bit out of line.  It's not so much the $28k, as it is it didn't, IMO, go
into all the right bits. 

But hey, if Stodard finds some one who thinks the way he does, more power to
him.
