Anybody have any info on George Noriega?

Imagine the time, effort and money to build a parallel copy and then do nothing. Nothing!

What the heck is a copy worth? It isn't the original, it didn't set a record, it may not even be close to a copy.

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Probably the best person to ask would be Denis Manning.

How much would a copy of Mike Akatiff's Busa liner be worth?  Answer...Alot!

John, I agree with you. Today's record holder, or a copy, worth a bunch.

We are talking about a 40 year old copy.

Heck, that 50 dollar bill in my wallet is worth far more than the copy I just made.  :-)

Denis Manning wanted to sell the Bub 7 liner in 2010. “Last time I considered selling it I wanted $10 million for it, but not now. The price is a lot less. Make an offer”

$10,000,000 buys you a whole lot of things. Many whole lot of things. That number sounds like Denis's ego talking. On the other hand, if you price out the time and money over 40 years . . .

Ok, I have an exact copy of Babe Ruth's bat. I also have Babe Ruth's real bat.

One is worth millions. The other is an oversize tooth pick. As valuable as a picture of the real thing.

This is a copy. This is a copy. This is a copy. It isn't the real deal. It is a semi-interesting artifact.

In the 1970's they were selling a copy of Richard Petty's NASCAR car. It looked like the real thing, but had a street engine in it. It was still a copy, wasn't it.

$36,000 has nothing to do with this item. The investor may not even care about the history of the vehicle. The only reason to spend that kind of money is the hope that somewhere down the road you can get more for it.
