And that is not a "car." It is a pile of junk on wheels that was at one time, a nice V-code Fury. The only way it will ever again have any value even approaching the seller's asking price is after somebody spends the time, money and effort to restore it.
Ok, so a guy takes a Hemi Cuda convertible, (1 of 9 or 1 ofo11, pick a year) rusted to all Hell. Sticks an easy $50-75k into it, turns it into a close to million dollar car. Guess he should have crushed that "junk"? This car is as scares as hens teeth, it could command as much or more money than any V code B Body car, how many of these piles of junk still exist? This member has kept this and other cars so they could be saved. The cost of moving them around, storing them isn't really factored into the price. Look at a Hurst 300, they go for $28k to whatever r the one sold at a Mecum action, over $50k if I remember correctly. I thought these were overpriced too, but dona little research first and find out what you get, the history is pretty damn priceless. A factory promo car? How many of those do you see? Is it rough? Yeah. Will it require a lot of work and money? You bet. If I had the money, I'd buy all the cars the member would sell, these are the Holy Grail of C bodies, the creme de la creme. This junk is worth more than my cars and trucks put together, and I wish I had the means to get something this unique and, in my words, frickin' awesome. I was told to not judge the man wearing shoddy clothes, for he could have more stock than the banker you respect so much. This car represents that man, you need to look past the clothes, or in this case, the rough looking project that waits to be brought back to it's former glory.
As learned on Roadkill.
I was driving C-Bodies back when they were new. Still own one.
Ever wonder why I don't really participate in the discussions much?
What drives the price of the market? Rarity sure does, if not you'd pay the same cheap price for a Hemi car as you would a Slant 6 in similar condition. You don't need an economics course to figure that out.
Very true. But that doesn't change pricing, unless you're dealing with your next example;
I strongly agree with this statement. Plenty of Barrett Jackson deep pocket people think that way and has driven the prices up artifically in some (many?) cases.
But still stupid?
I'm in option C, less stupid (does that mean I'm amongst the smartest?) regular Joe, buying the cheaper cars that need work, but allow me to still enjoy these things for what they are. I've had cars that I can't now afford to buy. Would've been cool to see my '68 Charger R/T restored when I owned it, wasn't meant to be. That car now would cost me as much as this car for sale, and as much to restore, or just a little less. I'll be buying more scruffy C bodies instead.
But not rust, moldy upholstery and broken glass.
I actually started feeling a bit sick to my stomach when I started posting in this thread.
I often wonder why people so wholeheartedly support car scams.
Still waiting for an answer to the "1 simple question..."WOW !!!!!!
I bet your the only one here that can say that !!!!
My thoughts exactly.Just what was your simple question ???
The ONLY time it matters is if somebody is misrepresenting the car for sale, attempting to boost the price.
Otherwise, if you don't like it, just get on with your life. Or get help.
