Saw that... simply crazy.
Only upside I can see is that maybe it'll nudge the
value of our cars up...

They said tonight that they only take 1 out of 3
cars to sell at the BJ auction so that would mean
that what you see for sale is the real cream of the
crop, either rare or 100 point cars. It appears to
me that some of the custom cars that have sold
($80k) are probably very good deals. If I owned a
Z-28 or 66 Chevelle with less that 12k miles I'm not
sure what kind of money I would expect for it, but I
probably would not sell it anyway. If I had a lot
of extra cash to invest in a toy I would be there
bidding too, but I don't so I'm just watching TV.

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 aren’t 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.

My son is the second owner of an origional,

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
