The Face of Greed

[P.J.]

I recently fully restored my L78 70 chevelle to the build sheet. I have had this car for almost 24 years and this project became an obsession to restore. I spent huge huge dollars and 7 months of full time work spent on the car
to totaly restore it. Yes Part of the reason that it scost so much is that I threw away many of the origional parts from the car not realizing
at the time how valuable they would become. Many car buyers at he BJ auction neither have the time or the
skill to take a car and rebuild it so they buy it all done
by one of us. Just look at the prices of last year to this year.If you had money to invest in an HP car last year
and then sold at BJ you would have made a great return
on your money. NOt like your stocks Too few rare clasics cars for many new found clasic lovers. How do you stop it! build more clasic
origionals again from the car companies. Or ??????.
Lets start with a copo 1970 Nova black on black 4 speed
with no council, got to be a 427 or a L78 for $ 3600.00 Canadian EH!

I don't know about you guys, but I thought alot of cars were sold way under the cost to restore, did you?

What's with all this Craig Jackson bashing? No doubt Scottsdale is THE place to sell a car. No other event will net a seller that much money for a car. If after commissions, you have more in your pocket than if you had advertised in Hemmings, who cares what Craig puts in his pocket?

These guys who are in the business of buying and selling classic cars will always attract the huge money. Let's look at this on a smaller scale - I could have my RS/Z advertised for 50k and get 20 tire kickers and 5 guys who want to try and beat me down to 45k. Peter Klutt (Legendary Motor Car) comes along and buys it off me for 50k, puts it in his showroom with a 100k price tag and sells it in a month.

Wealthy people who are not nearly as knowledgeable as us look for someone they can trust. Like it or not, Craig Jackson is one of them.
