Is it just me? Or is this insanity! $580.00 mechanical fuel pump

I met the man (Name protected) that bought and had a 67 Belvedere that Judy Lilly use to campaign restored. He bought a NOS quarter panel ( I don't recall which side) for $6000.00 dollars. The amazing thing was, he made the comment " If I could find the (other quarter panel), I'd pay $10,000.00 for it"! Talk about a hobby out of control!
