NOT MINE GG1 Green 383 "H" Code 1967 Plymouth VIP 4DR HDTP, $55,000!!

Other people on the board bought all of Dan's stuff, right? They could come in if they want on the prices. You're right on none of those cars have been restored and then sold, have they?
 
Some 300 Hursts have at sold at auction in the $50k plus range and in my opinion a V code '70 GT properly restored would be worth more and a properly restored '70 or '71 GT would be worth $50k.

I know of a low option '71 GT that was a solid southern car that underwent an expensive nut and bolt restoration that sold for $40k 10 or more years ago. There are those of us who love certain C bodies that would pay big dollars for the right car but this VIP is not one of them.

I generally agree with what you are saying but it also casts a dim glow on trying to restore any of our cars to their former glory if you ever plan to get your money out of them at some point.

But for me at least, I don't care what they would ultimately bring and I will restore them to their former glory anyway. That's what makes me happy at least, and money can't buy that journey but it can certainly help one in getting there. I just have to take my time to deal with what I can afford along that path.

At least three of Dan's cars are undergoing restorations but none of have completed and I doubt that they will be up for sale once finished. I have one of them and I will be upside down in terms of the investment vs. value of the car once it is finished but I am not restoring the car to sell.
 
lots of hot air..so much worry about the flipper, dan reminds me of a shyster as i tried more than one to buy some of the cars he advertised. I would describe dealing with him as elusive at best. The reason this very very nice car is priced so high is...it deserves that price, and to keep the flippers away. Most likely this one is too nice for you-all...lol
 
Since nobody is buying the VIP at asking price---which I assume is the "agreed upon replacement value"
seller can get the car "stolen" write it off and cash in on the loot.
Then again it is a nice car...

Don't be mad that you are a cheap ***. You never would have restored any one of those cars. They went to good homes and will be finished.

I bought one of Dan's 71 GT cars for $4000. It needs a lot of work. Restoration has begun with a welder working on the front subframe, which is off the car. Car is waiting patiently in my garage. It will be a long time if ever before my car will be worth $55000. I guess there's always hope!:lol::lol:

As to the OP, $55000 is a ridiculously high price for that 1967 4-door VIP car. $15000 to $20000 is my guess at true value.
 
I just saw this one on CL and was wondering if anyone posted it, I just skimmed though the lengthy bullshit, a awful lot of unused extra supposed NOS parts, extra exhaust system, what's that all about? Extra AC unit too? Didn't care for the Instagram con... then something about a auction? No link to said auction, it's been up on CL for 25 days so has it been relisted how many times on eekBay? It is BIN and Make Offer so... but looking at the seller it looks a little suspicious as feedback shows that all previous sales are more than a year ago and seems to be bicycle related. Strange... I guess a big GLWS is appropriate.

Oh and I don't think that hood ornament is correct. Repaint? Re-Pop?

I saw this thread and thought the car would be a really cool companion to the originally GG1 67 Plymouth H code car I bought earlier this year. Mine is just a lowly A-body though, obviously nowhere near the value of a C-body four door.

:stop: Hang on...... $55,000, umm he's a little :realcrazy: in my opinion but wow. I don't really see him getting that especially for a 4-door hardtop and in green. The car is PP43H79171199, a '67 VIP 4 door hardtop in GG1 green with black interior. The owner claims it is and I quote from the ad, an "Elite Survivor." It even comes with NOS spark plugs and 2 sets of keys!! Say Bill or @FURYGT what would be your opinion on the car? I would also like to hear from all the other Fury experts like @PH27L7, @mrfury68, @fury fan, and whoever else I can't think of. Here is SOME of what the owner says about it......

For sale is my beautiful 383 Commando H-Code powered 1967 Plymouth Fury VIP hardtop sedan. Driven only 17k miles since new, this is one of the nicest C-body MoPars out there. The car has been home-garaged everyday for its entire life. It has not been restored or modified in any way. Never driven in snow and only caught in the rain a handful of times, so there is no rust or corrosion anywhere inside, outside or underside. It is beyond survivor class. I acquired this car from the original owner’s family in 2015 when it had just 14K original miles on the odometer. In 1967 it was ordered new from Carl Mozingo Auto Sales in Newton Falls, Ohio. It served mainly as the family church-going car, and had never left Newton Falls or even been driven on the highway. When the head of house died just a few years after purchase, his widow took it off the road, covered it with blankets, and shrined the car to a dry dark space in their garage. No one else was allowed to go near the car. Fortunately, for the years to follow, she would routinely start the car every couple of months to keep the works supple and lubricated.

I keep the car in a heated private garage on a private family property in Westchester, New York. I drive it about 20 miles consistently, once a month, all year round, except days when it is raining, snowing, or there is salt on the roads. I have taken her on trips up to 200 miles without an issue. She loves to be driven. I have changed the oil and oil filter several times since taking ownership. I use quality oil and filters every time.

After market AC is a negative. Wish it had more options but price is aggressive other than if it hit a chord with some Mecum bidders like they had in Orlando last week

Thanks for the complement, to denote me an expert! :) I had seen this one about a week ago and meant to post it but forgot.

The guy is obviously not realistic on the price.
It is in truly fabulous condition, and not unrealistic to say it's one of the nicest in existence.
But the price certainly allows one to have their pick of ANY of the finest C-bodies in existence (4-speed cars, 440hp cars, GTs, etc).
So to garner that price for a 4-door - not gonna happen.



Yeah, funny, huh? I think somebody got some idea that if they measured fuel consumed they could equate that to HP produced. They apparently overlooked a bunch of efficiency factors - BSFC, fuel density and temperature, etc. While you can measure volume of fuel consumed vs distance traveled to get MPG, getting HP is far more nebulous.

I doubt anyone could build a 400hp 383 with -516 heads, the small-size AFB, the flat-mashed '67 intake - let alone the factory.



Yes, sometimes this happens. But I think in this case, considering the fuel-flow 400hp nonsense, that the seller might be high on his own supply.


Here is the closest comparable car I could find. Is from 2014, and we can see where bidding stopped. It is also from a famous FL broker/flipper, FWIW. (it was relisted about 20 times and I did not dig thru all of them to find the highest bid, we'll just use this one)

Is only a 318, so a rapid departure from the H-code 383 - but does 8 years and the engine garner ~$40k more value? I think we could all agree it does not.
