It’s often stated in the auto enthusiast world that personalization is great right up until you need to sell. Mods done to unusual personal taste limit appeal to the mass market. Also, it’s not unusual to see someone attempting to ride a car’s fame, whether from auction results (think microcars after the Bruce Weiner auction of 2012), celebrity ownership or a car’s appearance in a movie or TV show (Eleanor, Bullitt, General Lee, etc.).
This is the epitome of bandwagon riding AND questionable personal choices that limit appeal. That being said, if you’re a part of the 12th man movement – the Seattle one, not the College Station, TX one – this might be the thing for you. Hopefully, you don’t need to bring too many friends with you, however. The buy-it-now price clearly reflects the seller’s optimism after the Superbowl win.
