1970 CHEVELLE SS GOING UP FOR SALE from FESLER

[Aschle]

I'm not knocking the asking price, like I stated, it likely cost more than that to build. High end cars like this have a narrow marketplace due to the bank account required to purchase such a car. Again, good luck to the seller !

Everyone's an expert on figuring what a car's worth just by looking at internet pictures ...always amazes me what some people will say sitting behind a computer,sure wouldn't have the nerve to say it face-to-face,though.

I know most of us cant afford to buy cars like this hell if I had the money I would buy it and drive the hell out of it, let me tell you its one fun car to drive and fast. I just put it up here to get the word out I know I have about 2% of the market that can afford a car like this but it never hurts to try.

Its up to the seller to set the price for the cars/items on sale, lets honour the seller´s right for this.

And as you can tell, english is not my mothertongue, i would phrase the above way better in finnish language

Offtopic ends now.

I agree, and after a clean up it will be a new rule. I've edited the thread, if you don't have something nice to add please do not post. People should be able to post for sale items without piling on a bunch of negativity. You have a right to your opinion, but our no bashing policy applies to all forums.

Thanks.

Jody:

I understand what you are saying, and I'm in no way trying to Bash someone's car, but in the interest of education, I'd like to know what makes it a $250-$300k dollar car?

It isn't bashing to ask that question is it?

I would personally think there are almost no cars that fall into this category, but I would really like to learn.

I've seen a lot of cars over $100,000, and it it easy to see how one could spend that kind of money on a number of many car you would see on this site.

To reach those levels I would expect for there to be several things going one. Specifically:

1. A very Rare Number Matching completely original car.

2) A very exclusive exotic car form Italy, Germany etc.

3) A Car of Major Historical Importance

This is an incredibly nice, beautiful, extremely well done car with the top of the line products associated with the/in the, "Pro-Touring", Style of Build.

The LS-7 is a great Engine, I wish I had one. Baer Brakes are TOTL Brakes in this area of car building. The Chevelle is always a favorite car of mine especially the '70 LS6.

Is it the hours into this build that are driving the dollar amount of the car to that level, or is this a Market Driven Price?

If it is Market Driven, who is the market?

$150-$200k will buy a lot of "Chevelle" no matter where you look, if it DOESN'T fall into the 3 things listed above, won't it?

Please don't take this as anything other than someone under educated in top of the line cars. No bashing intended whatsoever, just an education.

I certainly can't be the only one on this forum wondering.

Sincerely,

Ty O'Neal

this post isn't bashing in my opinion, and that's fine. Some of my clean up involved "innocent" posts just to complete the clean up. It's okay to ask questions.

Back on track, it's a cool car with a ton of work in it. This market is uncertain but all it takes is the right guy. One other place you may list it that from others here seems to work well (I haven't tried it) is http://www.hotrodhotline.com/classif....php?a=5&b=162

I saw this at SEMA -- It's sick! Well done Chris!

Hope it sells quickly... remember guys - a rising tide floats all boats.

Jody -- IMHO there should be NO POSTS at all on For Sale forum other than asking a direct question of the seller about the item. It's FOR SALE - not for opinions... UNLESS YOU WANT TO BUY IT.

It's an amazing car!

Because that is what the owner wants for it. You as a consumer can say, "well that is too much money" or "man that is a deal for that masterpiece, I'll take it". No one is being forced to buy anything and I think these questions not pertaining to the car it self ruin a guys ad in the classified section.

Maybe you should have PM'ed him and asked him to explain why the car is priced where it is. And he could choose to respond in PM or add another post in his thread if he thinks it will help sell the car. Education for the consumer and respect for the vendor go hand in hand.
