MY LAST GTO I SOLD HAD OVER 9800 HITS AND 347 PEOPLE WATCHING IT AND NOBODY CAME IN AT THE END.

Mark do you think what I paid to get my 67Z back was a good price? I really would have gone more being I know what I put into the car back in 1984 (all GM body parts) and that was a big factor why I wanted it back and also a good friend helped me restore it.

To be honest Ron, it would be tough to put a price on the attachment you have to your car from the past, so I can't make that call. All I know is that 2 rusty roaches without original or correct motors or trannys and low options sold for upper $50's during the past year. Deduct the $7,500 that I put into my motor and tranny for the black car and I'm barely getting mid $50's for a non rusty car with NOS quarters, great options and colors! So, either the market has softened substantially or I just have crappy timing
At this point I am just breaking even on the car and if it doesn't sell I'm just going to finish it the way I want it and enjoy it. I can finsish the car for another $30K - $35K no problem.

What about the Blue one which sold at Mecum last fall. That was a good deal for the car represented,IMO?

I agree Stefano if you believed the engine stamping to be original and didn't mind that this original "survivor" car had been rattle canned underhood and had the carpet removed and redyed the wrong color
When I was negotiating on that car 4 or 5 years ago for $34K, the engine in the car was not original but was supposed to be with the car...I asked for pics of the pad and never got them. I still have the video the owner made for me at the time...neat low option car with great vintage drag racing pics. Personally, I thought that car would have brought more than the $85K or so that it did, but two friends that were there said it actually was rougher looking in person than it was in the pics and video - lots of dents and scratches all over the car. Regardless, it was original paint and that is very cool to me ![]()

No, I personally didn't mind any of that for the price. I just hadn't stepped up when the dust had settled.
