Hey, mine is the same basic car, color and all except I have no A/C and that damn 3:64 rear :beer . I'll sell mine for the current bid with a 50% discount to repair the paint bubbling that is starting to show around the vinyl top on the rear deck. Figure the $50,000 discount should more then cover it. ou:
It still hasn't cracked eserve o No: Who's the bigger fool?.....the guy bidding over 100K on a car without a test-drive, or the seller who thinks 100K isn't enough? The two might be the same guy :moonu: I wonder if this isn't a shill auction. Dan
If a 1969 Survivor Z28 can bring over 200k at BJ and then sell again for a higher amount, why is it so far fetched that this car can't bring this kind of money. o No: And the Z which they made 20,000 of, didn't meet the definition of survivor like this car does. Compared to the prices of other muscle cars today. I'm not that shocked. Just my thoughts. Patrick
$105,655.00....MAN!!! I REALLY wish I kept this car....ESPECIALLY considering I was into it for about $1200.00 bucks... coulda, shoulda, woulda....
This auction was just another uneventful waist of time...like so many others lately. ou: Too bad for those seriously interested in the car. :error:
I dont think the auction was a waste of time. The owner of the car is waiting on a deposit check. Sale Price 130k+
Most high dollar GS/GSX sales are not public. It would of been nice to see that 130k sale go thru Ebay. It would of set the bar for a public sale of our cars. The purpose of putting it up on Ebay was to sell the car. That goal was accomplished. A waste of time? It wasnt for the seller or the buyer!
I assumed this auction was a "No Sale"...If the car has found a new owner, that's great to here, So YES YOU are correct...Not a waist of time at all. :TU:
I either hear...The 455 GS and in particular the Stage 1 cars are way under valued while Hemi Mopars and LS6 Chevelles are commanding over a million bucks ( a hemi cuda sold for $ 2 mil and an LS6 sold for I believe $1.2 mil at a B Jackson auction last year) and we're pissed :af: Then suddenly we see offers where a very nice original Stage 1 4 speed, a relatively rare 1 of 664 car, gets a bid over $100,000 and a bunch of us are unwilling to believe it and think its a fraud auction because the car is not worth that much. ou: Sorry but I find this confusing o No:
Elementary my dear Watson... We want the cars we own to go up in value, but want the car of our dreams to remain the same so we can afford to trade up to it someday. Actually what I find ironic is that the cars commanding highest prices are those that have the least work done to them. All original, original paint, etc. The survivors. Meanwhile most of us continue to spend heavily on fixing up the cars that have been beat down to the ground, had engines swapped, etc. and won't get the money back out. Moral of the story is, find an original unmolested car in nice shape, drive it as is, take great care of it, and the cost of ownership may even be profitable. Even (God forbid) a Buick.
"The survivors". Yes they command the most money (in most cases). A true time capsule probably deserves top dog money. They are extremely rare, and to find one in the best of breed class of cars is almost impossible to find! Patrick
