THE ONLY GOOD DEALS ARE SLAPPED TOGETHER JUNK *YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!!

[MultiMopars]

Rather than responding seperately in two posts I have combined these:

"The only Super-Chevy car show I've been to was the Pomona 1998. I'm guessing 1000 cars in attendance,and not one original paint survivor. I'm guessing there's even fewer 11 yrs later.
Cars like this are the ones to own,and unfair to price it as a normal everyday car."



I agree. However the "survivor" paint has to be nice enough to be "respectable" at the Saturday night parking lot show. Otherwise the owner soon tires of hearing "why don't you paint it." No point in paying "extra" for a survivor that you will end up painting soon after you buy it.



"I have to chuckle here for a second. All the cars that I have been interested in buying sure haven't come down in price! I asked about this a few months back. Just where are all of these so called deals at? Any car that has been for sale on this site hasn't been a "steal", has it?"



Right on.

So many people get the idea that because of the low bid prices of unsold/reserve not met cars on the highly viseable Ebay, that these car are only worth the high bid. Many people simply use Ebay as a marketing tool and don't really expect that it will sell there. You can't blame potential buyers for trying to steal something in a down turn market. OTOH, unless you HAVE to sell there are no deal to be had. Most people that have rare desirable cars will hold them unless they get what they want for them. It still all boils down to supply and demand. If you WANT a certain car you either pay the price or see if you can build a clone to satisfy your need. Most are finding that in todays market they are better off buying a REAL car. The clone is only worth at best the sum total of its parts and in this market could not sell the done clone car for what they have in it, sometimes 1/2 of that.

Didn't you buy the Harrell 70 Camaro??? I spoke to the owner a few months before that car was sold, and I thought the price was a steal. I imagine the car was sold for even less than I could have bought it. That car dropped considerably in price from when the seller was first offering the car for sale. If my finances were a little better at the time, that car would be in my garage.

awesome car...the pinnacle of 70 Camaros

For me and maybe others,the automatic is a killer. Still a fantastic one of a kind car.
For those of you that have or know of a nice survivor,solid lifter car with low miles for 30-35k,just send me a pm. I'm not in the market,but for that price, I'll take them all.

The car finally rolled into my shop tonight. Here are some quick pics. This car is clean and original. Interior is excellent original except for the shifter? Cool car. I will get more pics and info soon. For some strange reason the car vin is 335632 and the vin on the block is 335633. Misstamp?

Thanks Charlie. I need to do a little cleanup and go through the numbers but it sure seems to be an incredibly solid original car.

The radius at the top of those rear stripes does not look right. No black on the rockers either. Repaint?

Could be. I won't know more until it gets cleaned up. It is definitely old lacquer and I see no tape lines though.
