'Investment grade' ? Nothing more than a marketing term. About as nebulous as 'collectible'.Is the VIN number listed in the auction ? I can't seem to find it in the reams of irrelevant information contained in the ad.Ron----- Original Message -----From: Keith BoonstraTo: John L.

The car looks gorgeous in black, but it will only be investment grade when it is returned to white.Keith Boonstra
