Stealth Bird…I think it might be time to come back down to earth. If you actually believe base model cars with high production volume are more valuable than elite Muscle cars with very limited production numbers…I believe its time for a reality check. The cars with lowest production numbers, most visual appeal and highest horsepower figures have & always will be the most sought after with collectors. Those are just the facts my friend.

As far as the sale figures the Yenko Camaro at B-J was right on course with past sales. The hemi cars at Russo Steel pulled 300-400K. So I don’t know what numbers you are looking at. Elliot Jaffe’s W-30 ragtop was painted in the late eighties by the original owner, featured a broadcast card with no mention of W-30. I don’t understand where you are coming up with a hundred thousand-dollar restoration on this car. I am very familiar with Elliot’s car and believe it brought strong money for condition and lack of definitive proof. Other well-documented W-30 ragtops routinely bring over 300K. Did you actually attend the auctions of which you speak? RM
