1970 Ls6 Convertible

LOL...yeah..maybe so..especially since most of those ZL1's have to be lowered off the trailers with a winch...might be fun to see if they could actually make it out of the garage under their own power... Doubt many owners of a ZL1 (a few exceptions noted..) would spin their car at 6500 RPM's lighting up the rears....after all they don't call them "trailer QUEENS" for nothing...

Belair, I disagree,the younger generation will like what they were brought up on "2fast2furious"...clone yenkos.... .....why dont you take up some donations for Chris' cat[in the parts for sale aluminum heads post]..i think he needs an IV and some food...

No thanks, I ate lunch yesterday.Going to watch some paint dry now.Encrypted message?????????????

IMO, Morris is 100% right on the money, followed by Greg. The young guys I talk to will never pay this money for these cars in 15-20 years, even though they will be able to afford them.

Thats what I said 20 years ago Marlin...twenty years ago you could buy a house around here for 40k....400k now.

Hey listen, even the "out of favor oldies" like Packards and LaSalles are still trading at high 6 figure prices. Somebody still likes those cars and is willing to pay what it takes to buy 'em. Anyone who puts all his $$ into one thing (like only musclecars) or one bond fund for investment purposes is asking for trouble. We all know that you have to diversify: LS6s, 'Vettes, Hemis, Shelbys.......etc.

Whew!!! I'm glad I'm only 37 and I've got a 15 month son that already knows the difference between Dad's cars. I might of been scared into cashing out.

With regard to wheel spinning and getting around under their own power, you really should try to make it to the Reunion:



We could stand to take a lesson from our sports car racing brethren in this regard. They race irreplaceable cars (we're talking 1 of 4 type stuff here, much less 1 of 69) all the time and fix em up when they get busted. It's part of the cars' mystique -- if they don't get raced they go DOWN in value because they are no longer in the public eye. Kudos to the Clarys, Pete Simpson, Ken Boje, Market Hassett, Barnhart, Porterfield and others for living the dream!! And for Holub and Hand for lighting the tires up in the cul de sac whenever they've got unexpected house guests.

One of four ?

You know, Aston Martin DB4 Zagato race cars, Daytona Shelby Coupes, Corvette Gran Sports, Ferrari 250 LMs (see below) that kind of stuff...



Most of those make '71 Cuda convertibles look cheap.

PS Don't let Billigen see this picture...

If your goal is to keep the cars in your family, then it doesn't matter if they are worth $20 million or $20..as their value is irrelevant..However how many guys that are in their mid 20's or early 30's feel that a Yenko camaro is worth 150k?? I would bet if you asked most would rather put the same 150k in a 911 TT or a Ford GT..Whether it is right or not is personal opinion..Look at what the wealthy younger generation (my generartion) buys...it isn't concourse Yenkos, Motion Camaros, or COPO's..Instead it is "Essee's", mostly European sedans, high speed low drag sports cars,or if it is old, it is tricked out and has more electronics than Langley...This is what "we" like and value..not some 40 year old car that you don't drive and have to worry might throw a rod and cut the value by 1/2...How many original cars show up at shows and the owners are under 35??? The point is you guys are the reason these cars are worth so much money...when you guys either cash out and move on or your relatives do, only time will tell if you get your money out..
