Re: Selling our Toys: was 64 Polara



I agree with Steve, doubt there are any hard science references. We are the last generation of antique car collectors/nuts. We grew up with them, this generation did not. At car shows that allow newer cars, they are todays muscle cars. If you notice at a car show the only “young people” are the grand kids we bring. Steve, your car is reasonably priced, what you have in it does not effect the price, its only what a “buyer” will pay. Many “deals” out there as the kids sell off their parents “toys” You see it on E bay all the time. First time the vehicle is listed for $30K next time $18K.
 
The one thing that has effected me personally is the price of gas. All the vehicles I have owned were drivers, built to drive and enjoy. The major reason I sold/traded my 65 Satellite was the 8-10 mpg 440. It was a pitiful fact that I could trailer it cheaper than drive it ! My present project, my 1966 AMC American convertible, (Rambler) is a 25 mpg vehicle. This year I can afford to drive it to Denver, to a AMC Show and on to Omaha to the Geezer Drags. The only way you can do this now days is to go with EFI.
 
Just my $.02...(if we are counting money)

Steve - do you have any hard science references to support your speculation?
 
I've often pondered if I will be able to unload my '65s at a decent price when the time comes that I want/need to sell them off.  I have speculated exactly what you said (lack of buyers and more interest in modern tuners/muscle.)
 
Sorry to see you're still unable to sell you Polara

Not always true. I have had my 63 Polara for sale for a while. People tell me that the reason it's not selling is it's North of the border so Americans are afraid of import fees at customs (which are actually VERY negligible) and that the car is too nice to drive for most people (which I can't understand). A HUGE factor is the collector car market is suffering BIG time because the actual amount of COLLECTORS is decreasing due to age and death and the newer generations are just not into classics. My Polara has over $145,000 invested in it. Built as a resto mod to dive and have fun, which I have done. $55,000 is a more than reasonable price for the car, BUT it has yet to sell. My $0.02.
