The supercar world is relatively small and I am sure the potential buyers know each other and have mutual friends. Therefore, they know what each other offered for the car. My point is... set a price and sell it when someone offers that price. If you want to test the waters put the car on ebay.

some people have the forsight to step up and pay above market value for a car they want.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree...it may be expensive...but that will leave out the people who would want to get it cheap and flip it for more...the person who buys it will do so because they want one and are willing to enjoy the journey of restoring it...or leave it alone for what it is. I can supply them with a defective calculator that I have used a couple times ! Blue is awsum...original drivetrain is awsum...there is no better place to get a feel for what the market is than this site. I think you have had a lot of good input Linda...and armed with it you should go private now and sell your baby to the right person. We will all look forward to seeing it someday either cleaned up and detailed a bit or a full bore restoration !

I love this car, but if it was mine, I would take the money.

To bad you have to sell it. Original owner cars are special IMO.

Would be cool if you restored it and brought it to a Supercar Reunion!

If it were mine and I wanted to sell it for the most money, I'd take it for Barrett-Jackson next year!!

Yeh, right...Take it to Barrett Jackson for the horse and pony show.... Be prepared to sell it at no reserve, or buy it back and pay both buyers and sellers fees, plus the cost of getting it there and ond all of the other associated costs involved. That makes alot of sence to me.... The car has had no attention for years, and needs alot of it now, let alone it is painted the wrong color. It is by no means a survivor IMO. You had probably the best buyer handed to you, but you thought that there was some gravy left on the plate. Alot of these buyers do not want the public to know their business, as to how much they are paying for these cars. We are on a real big upswing with muscle car prices right now, but it could turn around tomorrow. So maybe you should forget about the car for another 20 years and it might be worth more, but it might come crashing down. You have caused alot of bad feelings among socalled friends, I'm sure more than you know. Just my $.02.

Nice car! And since everyones giving their .02 cents. Here's mine. No reason not to test the market here on this board. I would say most feel 100K or more is a handful of cash for that car. So do I.

No disrepect, but unless I saw the cash change hands. Who really knows what it sells for!
