RE: Restored Fury for sale

[Sean B <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

Great advice, Mike.  I relisted it with a BuyItNow price.  After talking 
with some friends, I found out a lot of them don't like the open 
auctions, and think they get "run up" artificially, a lot.  I think 
they're right, actually.  So, I've got my hopes up.  It is kind of nice 
not worrying about how high the car is right now, etc.  You are 
right--if I'm not in a hurry, I think I'll do fine.  As far as Canada 
goes, I hear old Mopars like the brisk, fresh air!
