buddy of mine recently sold this car and a 70 429 wedge stang in order to buy a 13 shelby .. i dont know if i`d have let them go even though the shelby is a super car ...
Hard to know the best ,sometimes,Hoss..That 69 looks real kool,,but,maybe,he's like my friend down the road from me..He has a 69,and a very nice one,too,,a stocker,,but last year,bought a 2001 Shelby,with about 40,000 miles on it,,very nice car,,and now he might sell the 69.cos someone wants it,and probably will pay the asking price.. ($50,000 NZ)..I think he is looking at another late model Mustang,,cos the Shelby is his wife's car..:D:D Different strokes..............
I'm with you Hoss those old classics just speak to me!
I've always been partial to the '65-'67 Fastbacks. Went to look at a '65 not too long back, but it was a project car that had been badly painted and the guy wanted to get his invested $$$ back, and I wasn't willing to pay double value for a pig in a poke. I'll likely continue to admire them from a distance.
Yeh Roger around here they go for a premium. People go online and look at the most expensive one they can find, and feel their diamond in the ruff in worth every penny of that price, not realizing the one they saw go for 50k on ebay, had 80k in it and the owner was losing 30k. Craigslist can be the same way. I feel real lucky these days when I find a older item and pay what it is worth or slightly less, instead of the the mint condition new fully restored price.
people ask me all the time what i would take for my old wreck and i cant really come up with a price .. i know it would take 30 grand to replace it but no way could i ask that for mine .. yet i cant give it away either for the 8 or 10 grand that i see rust buckets commanding on ebay .. and thirdly i dont want to get rid of it so come offer me 50 grand .... HA !!!!
That's just it Hoss it's worth more to you! I get that completely. Some things just have personal intrinsic value to us, that others can't see or won't pay. Thus our passion for cars!
this is a story .. all of it true
bout a race tween a cobra .. and a four forty two
the cobra was sudden .. with it`s 4 speed stick
but the olds was no slouch .. it was pretty darn quick
i was there when they met .. on buddy williamson street
the cobra took the first race .. by a couple of feet
the olds came back strong .. and was given the nod
when the 429 came apart .. and slung a rod ..
this is the end .and they`re aint been no more
the cobra`s been sitiing .. since 1984 ...
Sad sight indeed Hoss!
Very sad sight..Hope it hasnt rotted out in the floors..:(:(
Ain't those as rare as hen teeth ???? Parked up because of a broken engine..... heck , I would of had it fixed long ago...... there should be laws about this nonsense ..... this is more important then gun laws eh....
