Even worse is a guy I called a few weeks ago when I saw an ad in the paper for a '73 Maverick (I had two over the years: a '70 and a '77. Both were excellent cars for the money at the time). Out of curiosity, I called to see how much he wanted (I was willing to go as high as say, $5,000 for a fairly decent one). He tells me, $72,000. At first, I thought he misspoke and actually wanted $7,200, which I would have considered high. No, he actually wanted $72,000. I asked him why he thought it was worth so much. His reply was that since it was an old car, it was worth a fortune. Jeeez. [&:]
