Does anyone buy this thing? There sure seem to be lots of expen$ive vehicles in there. It seems like any fastback Mustangs (69/70), E-bodied Mopars w/big blocks, first gen Camaros, and Chevelles are all gone outrageous as far as price goes. Some are starting to get into the range that the hemis were about 5 years ago. 429 Cobra Jet Mustangs are also untouchable. Now the tricky part is convincing my banker that buying a bunch of these will do nothing but make us money.
Do you guys think this trend will continue and will it eventually pull the prices up on newer stuff like big block TransAms / Formula Firebirds like the 74-76 models which still appear to be not too crazy as far as price goes? These cars (IMHO) are still pretty awesome --> big block power (once de-smogged they make ok power), handle pretty good, fit my big stature (ask Fomoko) extremely well (even with seat right back to make room for my torque curve, I can still reach clutch very nicely). These were fitted with a drivetrain that could live behind big block power, had a factory Hurst shifter, and were truly the last big block muscle cars made (not all that muscular w/emission controls but still big potential).

What was that --> did someone mention this is a FORD enthusiast website?

 

[QUOTE=LaredoF350]Does anyone buy this thing? ]My good neigbour brings it to me because I do their snow removal at no charge. some of the prices are nutz. The high prices happened in the 80`s when investers bought vintage vehicles and drove the prices so high so they had to come down. They came down hard and fast so the perpetraters got burned, what a shame! Yes this is a FORD site, most are some what open minded, I am some what challenged in this reguard but do the best I can.

 

Fomoko you can't tell me you would sell your 65 mustang for under $10 000. If someone offered me $5000 for all my truck stuff, I'd sell it and find another one.

 

No I wouldn`t sell the 65 F/B for that but I have seen some for $25,000 to $45,000. Some are reasonable and some are not. As for your truck depends on you have in it and what it is worth to you. There isn`t much that you can buy most of the time for that $5,000 other than a project vehicle. $15,000 for a 71 Monte Carlo and a 71 Impala each, $9,000 for a 75 Dart, $20,000 for a 65 Beetle, $12,700 for a 70 Beetle, $5,400 for a 54 Savoy, seem too high.

 

Who would spend that much on a VW Beatle?

 

That`s my point, some are fair value and some are over the top.

 

I'd spend 1500 on that mustang of yours fomoko haha

 

You would have to see it first, I don`t think that you would like the $1500 Mustang very much. The upside would be that I could then afford to ease dueller`s pain and put a 351 in my 27!

 

Yeah that thing is hot, chevy engine or not! you have any pics of your other stangs and stuff too?

 

Not yet as I don`t know how and lockups is away. He posted the T for me.

 

Well thats cool anyways, im sure they are hot!

 

Hey preppypyro are you coming to Super Run on July 28/31 in Saskatoon? A very large event with lots of vehicles and a great one, don`t miss it. Maybe we can have a get to get with afew of our memebers there.

 

Actually man that sounds like a great idea! only thing that sucks is right now all I have to show off is my 97 ford 4x4 truck lol
