Yeah, you're on the right track. Well, except the free rendering.

After seeing the copper 69 Chevelle at Buttonwillow last month, I really would love to do something similar.

I think between $6500 and $8000 will be my goal. I'm not really in the market, but I would love to take it off her hands and have her know it's got a good home and possibly a high-performance future....

Kris,

$6500.00. I say go for it, you can never have too many musclecars.lol!!

Atleast you know the history on the car so thats kinda cool. Sounds like a good car.

Offer $6k and let them counter.. have cash in your pocket.. worse they can say is no or how about $xxx

At least the car wont depreciate

Yeah, good idea Steve. I suppose the little angle on my shoulder is saying "don't low ball them!" But at the same time, the worst they can do is ask for more...

I hate when someone close says "make me an offer". If you go too low, they think you don't value their stuff and could be taken as an insult.

Exactly. Just tell yourself that it's an investment.

Give the lady a few hugs and kisses and I'm sure she will let the car go for almost nada

Now my comment doesnt really impact Kris' decision as if he gets its low enough it doesnt matter. But these days it might not be an investment. I think muscle cars are in a boom like the housing bubble, someone buys a house now for 500k and three years from now cant sell it for more than 350k is going to be the problem. I think with some of the muscle car prices, you could pay 10k today for a rolling shell, and in 5 years try to sell it and you might be looking at 3k.

That was just a ramble. I say buy it...and just keep telling yourself that you arent going to upgrade it!

I think you are right but I also think that it applies to $200k Mopars and COPO's more than $6k chevelles.. these cars will always be desirable and such.. it's the crazy priced cars that could come crashing down..
