Re: [AMC-list] PIE IN THE SKY



We go all over the place on Pie in the Sky awards. Sure, a person can
give a higher value for his car, but if it has no basis in reality, it
is pie. I could think my Rambler is cool and put a 10K price tag on
it. However, Old Cars price guide and perhaps Hemmings would give a
different value - and people that follow the hobby and have tried to
sell a car similar to mine might have yet another value.

So - my sedan:
10K - Pie in the Sky, no matter how I feel about it, or what value I give it
2.5 - 3K - closer to reality, but 3K might still be pretty pie-ish.
Less than that - it might actually sell, not that I would sell it
unless I really REALLY had to have a different project

Or let's say we have a completely rusted through Javy. No motor, no
trans, interior gutted. No race history, nothing special. Glass shot
out. 20K would absolutely be Pie in the Sky as you can buy a good
running, driving Javelin for far less. Heck you could probably buy a
couple.

I think Pie is like p*rn. You know it when you see it.
