Affirmative,no different that stocks and just as manipulated.I love the internet for the info gleaned,hate it for what it's contributed to the valuation of these cars..double edged sword no doubt.Wish I was financially solvent twenty years ago when these were traded amongst true collectors,now they're just trinkets for microsoft trust fund babies.

I can respect those who's income is dependent on flipping these,but admire people like Greg who's selective about the future of his historic car-and chooses not to diminish it's pedigree and add to it's owner total on the ebay shell game.

JMHO

I dont feel the LS6 cars are up there yet they are cool and I have had a few but the mopar stuff is way ahead and the LS6 cars are not a copo or a yenko but in the previous post he is right that someone will pay for what they want I know I have. Kind of strange he finds a great deal and asks all kinds of questions and now its worth 160K???

Appears to be a very rare offering and as previously noted some interesting items including those rocker moldings. No disrespect intended but some of the pictures make some of the stripes look like decals especially on the deck.

What's it worth is being redefined daily in this market at least for the time being. Speaking of Chevelles, check out ebay item #4553464263 (auction ending soon). Reserve not yet met and car has no documentation.

I dont think you can really consider ebay a market indicator there is alot of up bidding on those auctions. Most of the "real" cars are sold in private.

No offense taken but just to set the record straight on couple of items.

Know one has heard me say this car is worth 150 or 160 or 170K. Because I don't know what the car is worth. There was a lot of discussion that night at Sam's and on this site as to what the car may be worth. I've been asking more questions about it's value than answering questions about it's value. I appreciate all the input I've received from members of this site and feel I have a better understanding now than I did three weeks ago. But, the reserve set on this car is nowhere near 160K. I put a lot of thought into what would be a fair price for this car and I think I'm close. But, the only way to know is to put it out there and find out.

Late BrakeU2 I can assure you my motives for selling the car have nothing to do with income dependency or Microsoft trust fund babies. The fact is I'm just not the right collector for this car. I knew that soon after I bought it. It's just to original, to nice and to low a mileage for me to enjoy driving and I like to drive my cars. But, I wasn't going to let it sit in a barn for another 6 years. I paid the previous owner his asking price with no negotiation. If there's money to be made I make no apologies. I don't know any member of this site that feels they should sell a car for less than fair market value to be considered a legitimate collector. That's all I expect for this car. Also, suggesting that putting a car on ebay somehow diminish it's pedigree I think gives ebay more importance then it deserves. Ebays just a tool to get 10,000 people in 7 days to look at a car you have for sale. I doubt this car will sell on ebay. But I bet it sells to someone that saw it on ebay or this site.

No big deal just wanted to clarify a couple of things and put in my .02

Actually it does deminish its pedigree on ebay. Especially when no reserve has been meant for a car that has been put up reaptedly over and over. It makes alot of the bidders wonder why it will not sell. I know I have been through it. There have been several that have been for sale on ebay and "I" think it is just to pump the cars up like I said most of the real cars are sold in private. The best thing to do is come up with a number and post it makes things alot more simple.

[/ QUOTE ] Ebay is one place where I will not buy a car. I just don't trust the bidding system. If theirs bidding for a car, I want to see the hands being raised. This is a very nice car. However, I just don't understand why some (not the seller in the case), refer to these cars as "Rare Muscle Cars". Theirs really nothing rare about LS6 Chevelles, as nice as they are. However this one does qualify as "Rare". Just my 2 pennies. Patrick
