The patina and weathered wrap looks very realistic. Had me fooled. 
The world has gone certifiably mad.

A long time ago.
OTOH, look at us-- dumping real money into Tupperware copies.

Yeah, Stan, but in comparison, it's only a little money...
It’s a lot to me.

I’m going to take a stab here and suggest what I spend on my Speedster, proportionally speaking, is more than what the buyer of this original speedster will spend in terms of speedster to net worth ratio.
^ this. A thing is worth what a buyer will pay for it
Honestly, guys, the price is WAY cheap by current standards (stupid, yes). An auction estimate of $125-150k for a car like that is not realistic. I went to see a Speedster in Costa Mesa in 2016 with the floors completely rotted out -- and they sell in the mid $100k range (see picture -- I went with the late Bill Doyle's [4 cam legend] former right hand man, Scott, a buddy of mine).
This car is a 1958 super (the BEST Speedster year and spec you could get short of a 59 Carrera GT) and it is all there, sans side spears. That is the key -- original parts that can be restored. $150-200k later with Willhoit on the body and Victor Miles on the trim, and this will be a $600,000 car. I see the car going for $250k all day long.
Gee...maybe I should register...
