Re: SURVIVOR CAR VALUE
RIch,
Not exactly sure what you are asking. If you are asking about validating a survivor car asking price: Survivor cars (<span style="font-style: italic">true survivor - not one of those "only repainted twice" and "everything in the interior is original except the carpet, door panels, and seat covers" [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]!!!!</span>) can fetch as much or more than the same car with a top tier restoration. There are different levels of survivor as Steve Shauger's (aka "paceme" Survivor car determination process will show. Take a look at his methods of determination and definitions of the different levels of survivor in his posts. His setup is associated each year with MCACN! Can you tell us more about what exactly you are looking at?

You can't. They are all over the place and I'm never surprised

Re: SURVIVOR CAR VALUE
The short answer is... Supply and Demand.
If it's a desirable car in true survivor condition, then there's going to be lots of demand and virtually no supply (ie. no others available like it).

Re: SURVIVOR CAR VALUE
If a true survivor, its worth more than a frame off equivalent. Anyone with money can have a frame off trailer queen,survivors cant be recreated and the supply is finite .

Re: SURVIVOR CAR VALUE
It varies greatly on the vehicle,but someone will most likely pay a good price for a real survivor,as it's value is seen more as a stagnant collectible to learn from in a collection,and not driven as much as a restored car because it's not as durable or as relied upon as a restored car,which is where it's value lies.
Both have significant value,how much value is in the eye of that majority on that day it goes to market. |

Re: SURVIVOR CAR VALUE
Hey Bill - did you have to look up the spelling of "Ouiji" or did you know that off the top of your head (from your years of using it as a primary advisor on all of life's decisions)? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

A Legends level restored car would cost you $500/mile to drive in wear and tear of the finish of such a trailer queen LOL
