Default Re: DANA Camaro found in Mexico?

I think these long time owners that cherish these cars for so long are the heroes of these stories, NOT the rich guy that 'discovers' them and writes a check.

I think it's fair to say that in this high-dollar car hobby of ours there probably isn't an owner of such a car who will take anything less than the maximum amount he can get--they've probably seen Barrett-Jackson on Speed Channel and most of them know what they have. Maybe there are rich guys clamoring for the cool points that buying this car would provide but it takes a rich guy to buy these cars nowadays. The days of discovering an original 1967 Dana Camaro in this condition, or any Supercar, and getting it for less than what, 100K?, are long gone. When we glorified these cars we immediately priced them out of the reach of the average 9-to-5 middle-class car nut.
