IF you will go to the for sale section you will find there is a member that is already selling his 02 ZL1. For what he has in it, and my personal experience, sounds like he is not selling it for a profit. Here is your chance to buy one of these supercars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Then when you get done having fun with it, you could either sell it to you buddy, so he could have some fun with it, or you could sell it to some sucker for a profit. What would you do? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] If you sold it for a profit than you can take your other post back now and say your sorry. Or if you sold it to your buddy for a loss so he could to have fun with it also, you could prove your point and make everyone else an as#. But if it is out of the price range now what makes one think it will be more affordable in 5 years. If 50GGG's isn't affordable what makes 40GG's more affordable [remember we are talking about a car we are only suppose to have fun in and not make a profit on]especially when you can go buy a 5 to 9 grand Z28 mod it out, put better interior and stereo for under 10 GGG's.

As far as the old ones go, these cars were out of the general publics pocket book back then [remember we are still "just having fun" and not trying to make a profit], i believe over 7000 grand in 69, what makes you think they would be in the general publics pocket book range now. These cars that keep swapping hands are not rusted out no engine no tranny hunks of metal, but already restored, most back to original form, or orginal. If there restored then lets think what it cost to make orginal again. Well not exactly sure and maybe not even as much as what some would pay but it cost lots of money nonetheless.

Last, as far as value go [here again just to have fun and not for profit]remember when you could buy several pieces of gum in a gumball machine for a penny, now it is a quarter! Same with cars, then add time and restoration cost; you think that is cheap now days. Just think taking your car to a mechanic will cost around 50 to 60 dollars just to let them tell you what is wrong with it.

Hey I don't completly disagree; most these cars probably shouldn't bring in more than a 100 GGG's which is still out of the general publics pocket pock, [you can guess what I was going to type] and most would probably like to buy a new one for that price.

Products sell by Supply and Demand, supply high demand low price falls to the floor: Z28's=high supply demand low price cheap; ZL1(69 or 02) supply low demand high price just hit the roof and trying to break through.

Is this the fault of the hobbist or a law of supply and demand?

Just wait until the supply rises and the demand is low. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Not to sound rude but we all know neither one will ever happen. The supply is set in stone, and I will always want one! There is your supply, and I am the demand, along with many others.
