There were two of these cars on eBay a couple of years back listed by a gent in California I'm sure some here know or know of. One was an original black car. The other was a restored red (not correct red) car. IIRC, both went for more than this car and both went to the same buyer in Norway. I don't think the asking price is outrageous in this case if the information provided is correct.
Cars are worth what someone is willing to pay. Perhaps what you're willing to pay is considerably less than the next guy. Coming out and saying it's worth $xyz is nothing more than voicing an opinion based on what you have interpreted from the information provided.
Here is another good example...

What is that car worth? Based on the information provided in the listing, you can formulate an opinion. Now...if you knew how many hundreds of hours the seller has put into the restoration and modification of this car and if you have worked on and ridden in the car and watched the way the owner has babied that car over the last 6 or 7 years and the painstaking lengths he went to to make it what it is, would your evaluation change? Absolutely. I probably think this car is worth 2 or 3 times what an "outsider" does. Yes, the car belongs to a good friend of mine. Yes, I've worked on it and ridden in it. Yes, it's perfect in every way. And yes, it breaks my heart (and his obviously) to see it get sold...
