??? The car was a very low mileage (6,000 miles) example when originally purchased by Otis Chandler for his collection in 1987. It had a crazy custom panel paint job and an L88 fiberglass hood scoop back in the day. No trunk floor was replaced. And that is what the original, extra cost undercoating looks like when it was factory installed. My 70 Hemi Charger looked just like that. It's like they hired an asphalt repaving crew to apply the stuff with steam roller back then. It was almost 3/8" thick. Last edited by njsteve; 01-15-2023 at 12:07 AM. |

I will say this on the car prices. First, many of us our out of touch with the people that have lots of funds. If there are people out there that can buy $100K suburbans, is it really a stretch to think there aren't people out there to buy a $100K car they like even if over priced?
I was shocked the other day on a ride from the airport in California, I asked the driver for details on a new suburban I was in. It had the most quiet diesel, super loaded. He said it was 100k or so, maybe over 100K. There is one example. If a suburban can cost $100K, I see no reason now a killer rare black challenger T/A 4 spd (with restoration costs done right) can go for 200K plus. I still think that orange L78 camaro that went for 181K is a form of a hunter biden painting on wheels. That one makes no sense. |

What really amazes me in recent years are the people that pay $300k-$500k or more to have a custom Pro-Touring car built up to that days current fads only to sell it a few years later when those fads have passed for $150k but then complain about a $125k restoration where the value of their car increases every year. I don't get it. I eat a TON of labor on restorations but bill for every minute on a Pro-Touring car with no issues. Go figure!

So we build a $350K restomod, then in 5 years doesn't it just look like one of the Pro-Street cars on the cover of Hot Rod in 1986? Who likes tweed seats and door panels right now? Will we like a 2022 Resto-Mod 64 Corvette that has been converted to look like a 67, any more 20 years down the road? My son just turned 4. Every new toy that comes through the shop...first comment from the boy is, "Dad, when can we drive it?" Last edited by SupremeDeluxe; 01-13-2023 at 07:55 PM. |

The black on black T/A Challenger was unrestored. Same condition as when I last saw it 40+ years ago. Not original paint but repainted in the early 1980's most likely. A very cool time capsule.

My old 71 sunroof car went for $550,000. I sold it to Kevin Greene in 1994 for $54,000. That was a good amount back then. (I thought).
918% gain in 29 years, give or take a percentage. https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0123-53...er-rt-sunroof/ Last edited by njsteve; 01-14-2023 at 01:08 AM. |
