Barrett Jackson Auction

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The great thing about this is it is causing investors
that are used to paying up for a car to look at AMCs
as a great value.  This in turn is bringing up the
value of our cars.  As the values go up and more
people with money get into the hobby, more parts will
start to appear.  Just think, maybe one day you will
be able to get more out of your car than it cost you
to build.  I saw a few AMCs go through the different
auctions this year for $50,000+.  Why should a low
mileage SC Rambler only be worth 1/15 the price of a
Hemi Cuda.

That Buick was a one of a kind show car. Here's one
that will really 
stun
you: I was down at the Mecum muscle car auction in
Belvidere, IL 
recently
and they sold a Hemi Cuda with 7,950 "original" miles
on it for, are 
you
ready for this. . . $700,000!! (plus commissions).
First of all, that's a ridiculous figure. Second, I'm
always very leery 
of
original mileage claims on these cars. It was awfully
easy to either
disconnect the speedometer cable or reset the odometer
on cars of that 
era.
(Not that I would know how to personally of course.)
