    Just saw that Grass Roots Motorsports has the car for sale. It's at $$9,500 as of this morning (bid placed by wildhorsesracing) with two days to go.

    $11,200 now, does anybody want to start a pool on where it will end up? My guess, $13,900
    I can do anything with enough time and money.

    17,500 - give it a few years and it too will enjoy the same amount of recognition the other FFRs have received. my own opinion, there is just not enough of these out there making noise right now.
    That will change, Wayne being a pro builder/fabricator...someone is going to get a really well built car !

    It's nice to see a decent price. Considering Wayne built it, the buyer's getting a great car for the money.

    IMO, GRM had a lot going for it to get that price. Build thread on U-Tube, multiple magazine articles, fair amount of press and name recognition as well as a top flight builder in Wayne. I hope this helps others who want to sell get better money as well.
