I thought the paint scheme was a bit upside down when I saw it on BaT last month. If it were yellow with a white top and wheels, it'd be much better looking.
Markets are in flux right now, so people willing to spend that kind of money on a D1 are holding tight until things even out. Mechanically the truck is not that special, and recent sales of much better equipped D2s and D1s make me think the guy is overvaluing the 5-spd and "high quality" bumpers.
