The split window is what makes it rare.

It was only in production for one year.

Rich people want to win Pebble Beach. This car and it's story + restoration will make them a 90% chance of winning Best in Show. When you run out of shit to buy, you buy a trophy at big cheese and wine car shows. It's the rich old white guy version of the Kentucky Derby.

Definitely not a hobby for people who bring $0.15 coupons to the grocery store.
