[scuncio]

Beautiful car - are these going for this kind of coin? Still the holy grail of '72 Chevelles IMO.

For that money I'd at least want the trunk stripes corrected.

"W" car owners also feel that they are the Holy Grail, although the market never seems to reflect that.

He couldn't pull it out of the garage for @ least one front end shot?

[Steve Shauger]

The car needs a lot of details corrected and take better pics. He can ask what ever he wants but.......

Riding on the coattails of the '70s since they're so expensive?

Really nice car , mine was a steal at 65k then....

[TimG]

That's a great 1972 color for the GM line.

[Lee Stewart]

That price is absurd. Compare it to this car which sold last year for $56,000

Absurd is an understatement

[GM Powertrain]

Classic case of car auction tv trickle down effect on the brain. Dream on....

You guys missed the fine print "$80K in the glove box". Now who feels silly? ;>))

[olredalert]

----Agree with Steve! So many small things to correct. Not worth anywhere near that asking price. I see it at around $35,000,,,,,Maybe......Bill S

About that Silver SS . . .

It has been offered for sale 5X in two years (2015 and 2016) through Mecum. Sale price and high bid ranges between $52,500 and $56,000.

Some equate "rare" and "valuable" mean the same thing and that just isn't the case many times.

[scott s]

I agree but i still say somethings not as advertised or they are just buying it back if a complete frame off all #s 454,m22, conv with all paperwork, and those options with supposed 25,000 orig miles sells for 50k ish somethings fishy.......

Perceived value and actual value are two different things.
