Man you guys really "read" into things...guess that is a way to discredit my opinion or viewpoint since I differ from some of you...Guess since I hang out at Langley or Peary some you guys will next have me knowing where Hoffa is and who shot Kennedy (not Oswald btw...lol) Whether the "pilot car" is for sale or not has nothing to do with this discussion. I had listed it recently on another site as I'm buying a few more homes (my idea of better investments...go Donald..lol) and wanted some additional cash. Whether I sell it or not isn't procluding me from buying more property to use as investments.. I actually offered the car earlier to someone here for what amounted to the price of a SS396 L34 car as I thought they would appreciate the car, were not a specualtor, and we are good friends.

I bought the car back origianlly in 2001, and didn't pay a "specualted" price. When I bought it back it wasn't for any other reason than I liked it..It wasn't about the money, and I would have paid substantially more money becasue I believe in the car and know it well..The point is I'm just like everyone else..I'm not going to "give it away" and I expect "fair market" value.. However I'm not specualting that this car will always be worth the current prices, nor do I care..It isn't an investment to me..whether short term or long term..The reality though is I bought a car based on my personal likes, BUT since others do perceive these things to be great investments I bought one that is a "no excuses" car..to maximize that asspect of this hobby..I have commerical and residental real estate for investments, along with stocks, bonds, etc.

I personally think it is funny that some of you guys get so worked up over this thread..If it wasn't in the back of your mind (the investment asspect or how overly inflated some cars are), you wouldn't be trying to defend these cars the way you are..You would just realize it is my opinion...

Whether the Yenko that I posted about earlier sells for good money or not is a matter of opinion at this point..My personal opinion is it sold for that much money, probably because there was a naive buyer and less than full disclosure. Charley if you feel it is still work 150k..then buy it and put it up here for others to see..the same goes for anyone else...I'm a Marine and I'm not into a lot of "talk," let's see some action..If you guys feel that these cars are going up all the time..then someone call Mark H. and pay him 325k for the Yenko chevelle..Better yet Mark list the car for 275K at B/J next year or put it in another auction if it sells 9bonafide sale to someone other than ######., ######, or one of the gang..)then I'll admit my opinion was incorrect..I appreciate you guys abililty to pay these amounts and more power to you if you sell them..Just don't get steamed up because I don't have the same opinion on these cars...

BTW.."essee's are Escalades...SUV's are very popular at least here in the "dirty south.."lol
