Right...especially when he's made millions and the most famous/greatest guitarist of our, if not all, time. You're right...what would he know about being successful.

You fail to realize that the car is going to Barret Jackson in Jan '09. There will always be someone there with way too much money and ego, let alone being a Van Halen addict, that will pay ridiculous money for this car to impress and make new friends. Don't underestimate the power of too much money, Barret Jackson and stupidity.

But, this is a nice car.

*Kev puts away his signed-by-all-band-members copy of '5150'*
I'm pickin' up on your sarcasm.

But because someone is a fantastic guitarist doesn't mean they're a fantastic salesman.
That's DLR's job.

To promote a 6-figure sale online with only 2 pictures = FAIL.
No matter what context.

If that's not enough for you, the grammar on the ClassicCars.com listing should seal the deal.

I don't care, its VH-related!!! I want it!!!!!

Gotta agree, I wish there were more pics. But from what I see it looks like whoever built it is a perfectionist with class.

What's a 210 Belair? I owned a 1956 Chevrolet back in the 70's and since that time I always thought that the 1956 Chevrolet was offered in three trim packages; the 150, the 210, and the Bel Air. So, what is a 210 Belair?

Does anybody here even care?
