I know what I want for mine, what I'll get is probably a different story though...

A cars a car - nuts, bolts, metal - if the offer was big why not take it - theres always something better out there that you will get just as attached to...

I agree. If I was looking for another car, I would take what would be reasonable.

hehe, just about every time i take my plymouth out i get people coming up to me interested in it, what i payed, if i would like to sell it to someone they know who wants a hearse etc.

payed 5k for it because the guy was in a rush to go interstate and needed rid of it, got offered 12k a few months later after doing no work to it.

but its hard to put a value on this thing as it really is a one of a kind in australia.

I had an offer of 10k for the XB shortly after I'd just got the current one on the road. I told the bloke $15k and I'd walk home. I told him the specs and what sort of $ had been invested. He had to pick his jaw up off the ground. I'm gald he didn't offer enough, I enjoy driving it too much. $15k now doesn't buy the new engine and trans.

Thumbs up

I wouldn't sell any of mine but life changes and things can get desperate so as much as I'd want to say it, I can't say I'd "never" sell them. Although, I have worked out in my head what I'd ask for them though:

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T - $100,000 - 110,000
1973 Plymouth 'Cuda - $75,000 - $80,000

2002 Ford T3 TS50 - What I paid for it off the previous owner as I said he'd get first dibs on the car if it were sold, something he asked of me and I'll honor.

Don't really agree with that one. I'm not talking abot cars that you can just go down the street and buy another. I'm talking about cars that the owners know every last nut bolt and piece of metal on it. Myself, I would find it very hard to have the same attachment to just another generic vehicle

I know that one.
Wish somebody would offer a phat 20k for the VTII Acclaim (a ridiculous price...that's the point!) but they won't.

So we're stuck with the Commy. But that's ok. The engine has a nice roar.

If someone was to come up to me with a good offer it would go, since we have had it 5 people have wanted to buy it. But the way it is now it would want to be a bloody good offer though.
