hi Colin,

Keep an eye on those Kryta boys......last seen at gto show with high dollar 69 judge in piece o'crap cammo.
It was sooooo......delicious!

I like these cars too, but come on ! $200K ? WTH !!

I don't think these cars are in the same performance league
to command those dollars. What do you guys think?

when you want your car worth $200K,make sure others sell for that much.

trying to manipulate this market can get expensive,though.

Steve,
I think they are in the same performance leauge, no question. They just don't have the name recognition like a Yenko, for example. The W cars are reasonably rare and IMHO very undervalued in the big picture. I'd rather have a good W30 4 speed over a Hemi Cuda 4 speed, if they were both $1.00. The B/O/P cars just drive so much better than their competitors did. My black W30 is really nice to drive, even on bias ply tires. My Hemi car, bless its heart, tries to be a nice car but is still like driving a dump truck. If you had to have ONE car, I bet a lot of guys would pick a GS/442/GTO. But, I've been wrong before.

Now is the eBay car worth $200k? Not to me, it looks a little tired - I figured it for $75k the last time it ran.

Agreed, Colin, the GM a-body line is a tough combo to beat...

You mention the W cars...do the W31 cars get much love in todays market? I fell in love with Casey's while in Stanton...I thought it was a GREAT value when he let it go, but it seemed like folks just didn't jump on it like I thought they should?

Colin, I'm with you.....'drolds810' raises his bid 14 times - in a span of 9 minutes and 2 seconds - from $31K to $200K....with no one bidding against him

Bill- all that COULD mean is that he set a very high max bid and until another bidder out bids him that other bidder's call sign will not show up. So, it only appears that he is bidding against noone.

maybe a divorce thing???????

Rediculous auction.I just sold a documented 1970 which was real nice for $32,000.I know where there is an all original #s matching documented 72 W30 for $70,000.Probably the nicest one any where and I thought that was too much.

Sam, that's not how I know eBay bidding to work If 'drolds810' had made one bid of $200K, his bidder ID would show up only one time. As other people would bid lesser amounts, their bids would show up with their bidder ID.
