Apparently they cannot tell a 383 from a 318.

WhereTF do people come up with these values???

I don't see $10.5k even with the nearly new tires. He had to know before he started putting in new carpet, seats, top, and paint that he was never going to get a return on his investment. If I was him, I would get rid of something else in the garage and drive the tires off this vert.

Ouch, my eyes! Those seats!

For $10,500 those "few small items" should be perfect.

Right off the cuff. There's no rhyme nor reason. The guy probably took two or three steps back, looked at the convertible and figured 10K would be a good price. If you pressed him I bet he could not really justify what he's asking rationally.

Usually the answer is "a friend told me" or "I have seen the auctions on t.v."



Its a four thousand dollar car

Older fellow. Maybe the original owner. Emotional connection. Put it all together and you have someone who believes his car is worth that because he is so tied up in it. Same goes for someone selling their house they have lived in for a long time and are too invested in it emotionally to see clearly. These guys are the flip side of those who say they are going to restore the car in their side yard, rusting away, and you know it will never happen.

Then again he may have seen those crazy resellers, that we laugh at, and think if they can sell high why not him. What do I know???

Yup, that could be true also. From the looks of it I'd be inclined to believe that......still I think he's going to be waiting awhile for his ship to come in on this one.

It may be priced that high so it doesn't sell. Sounds like he has a lot of attachment to it.

 

[polara71]

He'll be dead before then.
