Thay may actually be well bought. Only time will tell. Although I'd prefer the Cobra 427 that sold for $625k.

He only paid 100K (sticker price) for the Car the other 900K went to charity and he can right it off on his taxes as such. Not a bad deal seeing as anyone who buys one at a dealer will have to pay an ADM on one and thats not deductable and could even be added to cause the sales tax to be higher depending on your state.
