Muscle Car Enthusiast Mag

[COPO427]

Guys,
I just picked up this mag and Unique Perf in Texas, Year 1 and Chip Foose will be making 69 Camaros (500) with 3 engine options. Starting price I believe I read was 150,000.



If I had the bucks, I'd hire the talent and go up against Foose and produce the same car for 1/2 the price. Looks like the artical aslo said they will be doing CUDAS, Chargers and Challengers. The 1st Camaro will be auctioned off at BJ in Scottsdale Az.

Does this mean the high dollar buyers who are buying stuff off BJ Auction will be collecting these instead and the muscle cars will drop in price so we can afford them?

Is there really 500 people who would want to buy these?

I bet they're all spoken for if you called for one. If only 500 are built and non in the future then I can see a person doubling their money in a few years. Better than Mutual Funds.

I doubt they will be good investments and will likely lose money over time. There have been so many specialty newer cars, SLP, Berger HotRod, Blackhawk, ZL-1, Dick Harrell, Dale Earnhardt, special anniversary Vettes, Camaros, etc, etc. 500 is a very large quantity for an expensive specialty car. Most of these are now selling below sticker. I would stick with the stock market for your "real" money and use cars for your play money. IMHO

Good advice, IMO

All we have to do is look at the AC Cobra. The real ones continue to appreciate, while all others depreciate.

My thoughts exactly! Anyone want to buy a "Eleanor"? Patrick

[Jeff Murphy]

The Eleanors are made by the same guys as will make the Foose cars. I understand from a well-informed source that the finish on these cars is not good. It may not be the case for the Foose cars, since his name is on them...

These things all seem to straddle the line between "Oooh, I own a highly customised Foose/Shelby at a lot lower price than a one off/original" = "affordable" Foose and "Man this quasi-mass produced Foose/Shelby sure is expensive" = still too damned expensive to drive around on a daily basis

What a joke!

I'd rather see Stubbings do it right and see the buyers do what they want with them afterwards!
