Whats going to be worth more in 20 years:
early 70s buicks vs our era gbodys?
-
thats rough to say.. gbodys all together?
i dont know about cuttys, and gp's but.. gn's seem to be coming back up and monte's are getting pretty high also.
-
Don't the prices of a GSX and a GNX stay pretty much close to one another? I think the GNs can fetch a bit more than a GS, but the Ts, T-Types, WE-4s, WH1s usually only appeal to people that know what they are. And Montes, Olds, etc. won't ever come close to the prices the TRs garner.
-
as i said i dont know about the olds ant pontiacs but.. its getting rough to find a decent monte for a "cheap" price now. will they ever come close? no.
and in my eyes.. i rather spend more on a WH1 then a gn.

In Barret Jackson condition.
Old muscle cars will bring in more then the G-Body years. The GNX can be close to a numbers match GSX but not more. If you don't own one now it's too late to make a killing at the auctions. Buy Gold or rare art if you want to make money. Now drive the hell out of the garage queen :evil;
-
Making a killing isn't the goal.
Having something thats fun and at least holds it's value.
Our list price (GN) was quite a bit higher, be a long time before I might break even on that.
-
dave i see what you are saying. out of the gbodys we have the highest value ones.

-

I don't associate Fl car with rust? faded paint?
You guys probably wouldn't believe how well our bumper fillers hold up here :)
-
dave i moved down to fl 4 years ago. the car is a ny car. from day 1 till dec of last year.

GNX=steady with inflation. Cars= bad investment.
-
GNX's are going for allot less then they were a few years ago.

gordy your right, i remember a gnx selling for something like 100k (with no miles) like 4 or 5 years back. i havent even seen any for sale lately.

I think it was late '07 and early '08 when I saw one fetch $100K. Now, people aren't willing to pay more than $70 to $70K.
But it's funny...you see people ask and pay ridiculous amounts of money for these things sometimes. There was an '84 or '85 on ebay that was going for $24K+ a few weeks past and the seller claimed it was appraised at that value. Thing had quite a few miles on it too. It looked nice in the pics, I'll give him that...but I wouldn't pay over $2500 for an '84 or an '85 TR.

there is a ass for every seat.
i bought mine for 13.5k a week later i had it appraised for 16k. i wasnt going to argue it.

I'm assuming since that is NADA's only option category they lump t-tops in there.

An '85 for $18,500. The $12K spend under the hood better be impressive for that much scratch.
