Opinions on resale value - 70 Nova SS / Day II

[Lynn]

The personalized car is always difficult to value. No two of us have EXACTLY the same taste.

It is rare that you get back everything you put into it on something like this (not talking about the 69 Z someone bought in 1980... more about a short term ownership like this).

The uninformed buyer will see "383" and assume it is the same as every other 383 out there with Chinese internals. He won't understand what makes this one worth much more.

Still, this car has SO much going for it.

If I had just done everything you have done to it, I would have a hard time parting with it. IMHO it really won't matter if it has 100 miles on it or 1000 since the build (unless it gets hit). So, if it were me, even if I knew I would likely part with it, I would make certain it is adequately insured, drive it a good 1000 miles (or smiles, whichever comes first) then re-evaluate.

You never know, someone might leave you a love note, asking if it is for sale. I get those from time to time.
