Default She's back up for auction again.

It's like the car is a time share. Up for sale again. It really is a nice car and should be driven and enjoyed. Here she is shortly after I found her and at Atco running a 13.8 at one of the old Supercar Showdowns in 1988 or so. And, like all my other old cars I still have the orphaned photo album with all the original photos in case anyone here buys the car.

Growing up, those Mopars after 1970-ish just didn't appeal to me, but now I find that one just beautiful. I saw one (1973 I think) go for around $17K at the MECUM Chicago auction last weekend. Seemed like a solid deal.

Those Eagle ST tires were the go to back in the day. Looked good on anything.

That's the Superbee 4-speed car. Whoever owns that should buy the old Charger for the matching pair.

Looks like my old 71 sunroof car went for $550,000. I sold it to Kevin Greene in 1994 for $54,000. That was a good amount back then. (I thought).

918% gain in 29 years, give or take a percentage.

Just for giggles I found one of those historical investment over time, calculator websites. If you bought $54,000 of Apple in 1994...it would be worth $10,460,490 today. A 19,271% gain.

Generally speaking cars represent a very poor investment over the long haul versus a typical S&P 500 index fund. Of course you can cherry pick a specific time frame to show cars outperform a balanced stock portfolio, but that's a matter of luck for the most part.

Have to be into cars for the enjoyment and not for the money as its very often a losing proposition especially if you're restoring a car. Of course we all tell our wives the cars are increasing in value. :-)
