Re: Real Nickey?
In Sam's post he very wisely states "It's just about the hobby that makes it that way". Well said. Can't that be said about all relative values of collector cars? The appeal of RPO high performance cars that were sold by dealers like Yenko, Nickey, Dana, Tasca, Grand Spaulding, etc. is the history of those dealerships as pioneers and that they were the "movers & shakers" of the high performance era. Whether YOU would pay a premium or not, many people will in order to have a car that was as close to a converted car as they will ever get from one of those heralded dealers. Ask yourself if you would rather have a Z28 or L78 from Yenko vs. one from Joe Blow Chevy in Podunk, Iowa. Then the only issue is HOW MUCH more you would rather have it. Many people think that premium is as little as 5%, but, others feel that 25% is reasonable, depending on the other details of the car like docs & color, etc. I respect everybody's opinion on this, but, we have to understand that both sides have valid arguments, and, it's the buyer that determines the value of every aspect of a car.
