Well put "bigshow296".
Without any history (Paper-trail) hard to think the owner passed up a
legitimate offer of $35,000.
FECARMAN may be closer to the truth, "Monopoly" money!!!
If you look closely at this car, many things do not look correct. I'm no expert, but I know a little. I'll list errors later

The Ellis Collection lists the car as "described as"
And also states; "This particular example"
And Galen Govier decoding states that the D-Dart was built at
Hamtramck on April 17, 1966.
But, was THIS car built their on THIS date, and is THIS car an original
D-Dart?
Message to the owner.. That was a generous offer $35,000.
Message to the buyer...."Caveat emptor"
