Multimopars:Why is it that so many people assign such a value to such a thing? I see people making statements like this about Mr. Norm's cars as well. You won't find any add for such a thing in ANY old car price guide and I wonder if anyone has anyway of knowing if it REALLY adds any value to a car as it is seldom that two identical cars sold from different dealerships are available at the same time to the same buyer."

If you believe the old car price guide you reference then there is no need for this thread... you have the answer. The price guides I have seen have been so off from the market.

There are many variable that make up price. In many cases it should be on a car by car basis. Originality, condition, color, options, selling dealer and the cars provenance and history are what determines the value to most buyers. many cars are sold privately and their prices are not captured in any guide database.

Lets all wait until next weeks auctions as they are a relative barometer of the market(not an absolute indicator of values).
