"What makes this UNRESTORED, PAINTED, MODIFIED ENGINE car worth 50k more than Stefano's L78 ??"
If you have to ask...you'll never understand.

Okay, I have one more stupid question... what makes this UNRESTORED, PAINTED, MODIFIED ENGINE car worth 50k more than Stefano's L78 ?? I swear, I must be in the dark ages... 2 Yenko decals, some glue on door trim and a LOT of dirt add's 80k to the value of a documented, and fully restored or original, mint condition SS350 or L34 4 speed car? ![]() ![]() Jim [/ QUOTE ] 'cmon Jim, when you made a FAST car - what did you copy, an L78 or L34 car?

Original owner too....ain't much closer you can get here in '06? . Welcome to the dark ages!? Lots of good points though and I think Linda and Earl's way of checking the market before they actually make it available is pretty smart! . Linda's description notes some great details too....can't think of too many women I've run across that care about original exaust pipes? I like a combination of a lot of the ideas....clean it up and run it this year, go to the Supercar Reunion and/or other shows and have fun building the exitement of the upcoming sale at BJ or eBay or wherever? . In todays world of reality drama, it would sure be a better TV or magazine story than what's on the tube now? Lastly, what personal tax implications will result in the sale of the car? . Have you discussed these rough market figures w/ your accountant yet? . Best do this before agreeing on anything as you may net more after tax dough by waiting for retirement....or by selling it to Marlin cheap??? Good luck whatever you do and thanks for sharing! . It'd be fun to see some history pictures and orig documents copies. ~ Pete

Marlin, I agree on thinking that a restored Deuce would be in the $150K range. Add the original owner and paperwork and it's that much better.

[/ QUOTE ] Does buying the car from the original owner add value? ![]() [/ QUOTE ] Original owner adds some value for a select few people, especially if they have other cars that were also purchased from original owners. It's a very short list however, and the premium attached varies by the individual. (It's an intangible item that is hard to value.)
