GTO Judge value opinions needed

[tom406]

Thanks Don, I just wanted one of the GTO traders to validate my instincts. Your opinion almost exactly echoes mine. I figured a nice RAIII Judge should be a $40-$50K car, and adding for the RAIV goodies but deducting for the non original block and paint colors would end up being a push. Even given that there seem to be more guys forgiving of color changes these days, I still can't see exceeding $50K, unless its an absolute work of art. If this guy already has insurance beyond that, hiring me for a reality check probably isn't worth it.

It seems my main job these days is to delicately let people know that theirs is "just a car" and break it to them that they didn't win the musclecar sweepstakes. I don't mind letting the air out of some braggarts sails, but lately its been people hoping their kids college funds or their retirements were set. Kind of a bummer, but you gotta set them straight, that's what they're paying you for, right?

Thanks for the reply, Don, its much appreciated.

Regards,
TOM
