RE: [BaadAssGremlins] 74 Gremlin for $13600

["John W Rosa" <JohnRosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doc,

There's all kinds. :)

The reason the $15000 looks high is because you look and 
see a 30+ year-old car begging to be driven. I see a historical
artifact deserving preservation, so that future viewers car see,
in person, how these cars looked when new. Yes, if you plan to 
drive it, $15k is too high. If you're looking at history and 
future value, then $15k is merely your investment, which will 
only rise in value as time goes on.

Thank goodness, the hobby has both kinds of owners...all the 
bases get covered that way. :)

Well I guess I am a hobbiest then because rather than let a nice car sit
in a garage and not show it like most collectors I choose to I drive
mine. The perfect example is Steve Green. You never see any of his cars
at a show or even to a local cruise night and there are 3 every week
within 5 miles of his warehouse. I know because I go and his warehouse
is 6 blocks from were I live. On restored cars you never make your money
back and also not on hot rods or customs, even the Foose and Coddington
cars. Check out the Barrett Jackson auctions. Unless it is a charity car
and then it is probably written off tax wise. 
At least I can say Jay Leno drives his cars.
