I agree on the point that the market is going crazy. I thought last night
was nuts ($205k for a z28?)..but when you think about it, certain cars like
that Z28 or the '66 Chevelle are very rare finds, so what is the real value?
I've seen it posted here before that it's whatever someone will pay for it.
Not sure that's the way I'd go looking for an investment, but most of those
guys arent worried about that. It does bother me
As far as a 340 Cuda not being a performance car, I'll assume you've never
driven a 340 car or maybe you did and it wasn't running right. It's like
saying a small block 327 Chevelle isn't one. That little motor gets up and
goes. It doesn't have to have a Hemi to be a performance/muscle car.

I really have mixed emotions about what is happening with the classic
car market. On one hand it's really great to see guys make good money
selling their cars, but I just think the rich crowd has gone way
overboard. These guys have priced the middle class blue collar car
collect/DRIVER (like me) out of the market. These guys even paid 61 Gs
for a 340 ci 71 Cuda. It was nice, but not even a performance car
except for a 4 sp. The real /hot rods/ just seemed to break even. My
65 SS will never make it to
BJ, but then again I drive it when I can, and even bang a few 6000 rpm
shifts.

Gulp, what would that bring at BJ.

The 66SS was suppose to be a 10K mile original and highly optioned; 4-spd,
360hp, etc. I thought it was $125k as well but the BJ website says $135k
(lot 731 -
http://www.barrett-jackson.com/auctionresults/common/bj06results_s10.asp if
that's the same car). Maybe sometimes underwriters aren't all that naïve.
Many cars there are bought from the heart and not the head. Except for
reported mileage there was nothing really that special about the car, IMHO.

I tuned in late last night and caught em putin the hammer down on a Red 66
SS for $125,000. Can anyone give me the details that made this one that
special? We use Barrett Jackson, Mecum, Kruse and other auctions as
comparables when insuring high dollar cars. Sometimes the underwriters just
don't understand and you have to show proof. On another note, I have an old
68 Malibu out back that I am thinking about sticking a Hemi in and running
it through BJ in the fall. Anyone know where I can get a set of motor
mounts
for that??? (all in jest of course unless I could find one of those Smokey
Yunick Hemis).

I've had good luck with polygraphite bushings from Performance Suspension
Technologies in the front. Ran them for years on the front of my 68 El
Camino w/o any squeaks. One the rear,I wouldn't use anything but rubber.
New
rubber works ok in the front,too.

Clint...with me upgrading the suspension on my 72...We plan on replacing
all
the other bushings. The Global West A arms have Delum(SP?) bushings. What
would you suggest for the remaining bushings on the rest of the front
suspension?
