HEY Bud, long time no talk, HOW ARE THINGS GOING, STILL SWAMPED!!!!!

I know people PAY for what they like/want. A buddy of mine dropped LARGE for a '68 Hemi RR. WAY more than I thought it was worth. BEAUTIFUL car with an over-the-top rest. BUT B5 blue on blue with column auto to me, isn't worth what I would pay. He likes it, it's his money and I have no problem with that.

I do think this market is shrinking. Some may agree or some may disagree. It's a free country. YES Unicorn's like the Bullitt car and some others like a '71 convert Hemi E body will always comand big big $$$.

Now this Chevelle @ $185,000?? I wouldn't pay that myself as I would rather have something else for that much $$$. That's just my thoughts and opinion. This Chevelle doesn't appeal to me personally. That's fine, and just my thoughts. I would want to drive it, and that would drastically effect it's future value. Just not my cup of tea.

John

P.S. 427 Caprice UMMM. Must be lightened to only be 4800 with a 427!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
All the best bud. Keep up the great work.
