Great looking car. Any guesses what it will go for? 70s maybe?

 

without looking close at the reports and the Dated 70 Stage 1 motor and going on what the seller states to the auction company i'll go in for 49k

 

I might go to the auction and check it out.

 

A NOM car is always going to bring less but I am not sure with a GS, If the right people are in the room maybe big numbers. But if its just the normal guys I guess it will bring 37,500. My dream GS is this combo with a 4 spd. It would be hard for me to choose a GSX over that.

 

Just from a quick glance at the underhood picture, you would not want to sit down and pick that one apart, as the list might get pretty long.

If it is the OE colors and appears decent in person, it might bring about half what it cost to restore it.. uzzled: ou:

this would be the best chance for a below value buy, of course schooling the owner isn't always easy but for a few correct parts and placements a flipper could do well here

 

guess it depends on what a persons[Get out of bed for profit is] but an educated seller is always worth more

 

If it is at an auction house already, the only "negotiating" really being done is whether the owner will lower his reserve or not, and educating the seller (if he is even there) on what is right or wrong with the car likely isn't going to accomplish that. Doesn't mean you can't make money buying at an auction and flipping (after all, that is what dealer's try and do all day long), but it has more to do with who timing, who is bidding, etc. than it does with educating an owner (if you can even find him).

 

Yer lucky you got to me first!

 

I remember the crazy days of easy credit from ninja home loans and home equity loans--you'd see a car bring big money at an auction then appear a month later at a dealer who'd bumped the price another 10-15% and would offer financing. And, when the bubble burst, a lot of cars either for sale (by the folks who borrowed to buy them) at a big loss or for an unrealistic asking price. Also, I certainly am not an expert but to me, in a perfect world, a car's true value is the losing bid not the winning one.

sold at 37,500 it should be staged 70's garage

Wow, what a guess, you missed your calling John..

while I ageee it was super cool and my color I still have my eyes on the prize someday I'll get the car locally here and its a 19B 4 spd 188 with AC

 

Do I know that car, John? :beer

 

Quite possibly I'm not sure when he will decide to let it go just would like to be ready when he does Last time we spoke he was saying his daughter might want it. Maybe sge would rather have an automatic SunCoupe

 

Now the auction is over and I believe it was me that said it would bring 37,500 so what did I win

 

I like the way you think
