Default Re: 69 Z28 RS JL8 Crossram car listed at BJ auctio

I think you may have it backwards now though...a couple years ago the "flippers" were selling the higher end stuff...today the cars that can be bought more reasonable are being flipped...There were ALWAYS cars that were out of reach for people...I wanted a 53 Skylark bad 15 years ago but they were close to 50 or 60 then if I'm not mistaken...hell they are still way up there...I don't see many Supercars being flipped these days...they sell privately...and people know what they are worth in the marketplace.Whether these cars hold their value or not is up to the people who own them and want them.The whole crossram/JL8 goofyness of last year probably woke people up to those cars and no one is buying stupid on them from what I saw...tri-fives ,t-birds,GOOD Hemi cars etc were pulling big bucks . I would love to have a nice Hemi car again but they are not in my budget !! Rarity and desireability,and quality of restoration coupled with what the guy standing on the stage bidding wants is what brings the money out there.

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
