Re: One man's opinion
Maybe it is not my place to respond, but whenever anybody says it is not about the money, it is always about the money. Tom, I have no doubt about your love for the hobby, that is very obvious and I for one appreciate it. Since I have been a member of this site, I have discovered that most of the members are men with money that are able to pursue their love of their past. I think that is great. I also have come to believe that these are the same people who have inflated the prices on these cars to a point to where only you can afford them. So, yes, I do believe it is all about the money. Not in the sense that I believe that is the only reason you pursue this hobby but in the sense that you have it and you ain't selling unless you turn a profit and a substantial one at that. There are only so many of these cars out there and it is a sellers market, for now. Tom, the simple fact that you mention that only Yenko cars that Don had something to do with are different, special, more valuable or just more interesting means to me that you think that they should be worth more. Your opinion obviously affects market value as you are an influential person in the hobby. (Re: Douglass* Yenkos). I say, more power to you, because I totally believe and love the American way. The one who dies with the most toys still dies. Try to remember that and then drive it like you stole it because if you don't, than, isn't it just about the money? If you don't race your funny car is it because of the money or the memory? It is only original once and if it can be restored once then it can be restored again. All comes back to money doesn't it? So please, don't say it isn't about the money, because it is. Things (read CARS) are only priceless if you don't NEED the MONEY. Just this man's opinion. I just hate to see the bickering and animosity. Hope I didn't offend because that is not my intent. Mike
