SW... you should consider putting the gullwing/scissor doors on the gt.
Love the car.. though.

I agree with Rupp... its worth what someone will pay for it. I've been offered crazy dough for my car... but can't let it go. As long as i don't "have" to.. she's staying with me.
SW.. you don't know me.. but we have mutual friends in the street world. Im like you.. i drive the shheeet out of my cars as well.:thumbsup:

I thought about bringing my camaro to your infamous Texas freeway/speedway for fun... hopefully i can make it this year!!You guys have some serious GT-R's coming your way this time to test those Lambo's, huh?? Should be awesome!!!

OK, so here's a question kind of focused on the OPs initial remarks....

Without specifying numbers, who here has built a relatively high end car, and then gotten at least what they invested back at the time of sale? And vice versa, who has not. I think the starting dollar value considered ought to be around $30K, because at less than that there is so much smaller a difference between just the intrinsic value (whatever that is) of the make/model/year and the investment cost.

SW,

Hope you are well. Very cool offer. I may have to take you up on that. But, will that result in a warped sense of speed for me as well? Who cares, I will take that chance.

Take care,
Chris

I've been watching this thread carefully. On my last 68 (non PT, almost a resto-mod) I got out of it what I put into it, but it was a sub 30k car. I also regretted selling it and hope never to sell a project or muscle car again (and die broke :lol:).

Watched a rerun of Mucum last night. This car sold for $120k. Announcer said it had a custom interior but nothing shows in the ad or on TV. Car presents itself well, although alot of guys here are building far better cars IMHO. This car also stays closer to the purest Camaro lover/auction buyer - factory colors, crate big block, etc. But on that scale Penny is twice the car (maybe difficult to get twice the $$$, tho). Take a look:

Well said Ron, but I think Steve should just let me have Penny. Than I can get to the track much faster, cheaper and start having more fun with myself. Wait that came out wrong :D But if you keep telling Steve that Penny is worth so much money I'll never have shot. By the way that is a nice looking Camaro you post the link for, 120K does seem like alot but with out seeing in person who knows. Plus we all know that once wo people want a car at an auction you never know what it's going to bring. Oh and get back to work on your car, shouldn't you be posting some pictures for us by now :thumbsup:

Josh -- Sorry man..... that's the dumbest thing you've ever said.


:willy: :willy: :D

ouch.

Thanks for the compliment... I often wonder what Penny would pull at BJ Scottsdale and a good time slot.. just too chicken to find out.

Auctions are funny.. you need TWO people that want your car to get any money..

I like the hood on this one
