ha ha haaa...yup... i hear that!! yes...we can thank Barrett Jackson and the old inter web for these outrageous prices...maybe i should ask 10 for mine?? those guys make it look like a deal!! ha ha haa

 

yes they do, seen an 87 porche 12.000 miles 14.000 offer, one of mecums off tv deals,people thought an were actually wrong that volkswagon parts were going on there porche in the 80s ,? what it was is that porche had been hired to to build some volkwagons an it was more likely there was porche parts on volkswagons in the 80s ,stigma ,popularity are big with those cars auctions ,I looked at some priceing there wicked high ,I love to watch the auctions an drual,if you see one car go for under 20.000 your lucky ,but that porche was a good deal,an some of there off tv deals is what a lot of people go there for.some days they sell more behind the seens an those are the deals for those that don't have $50.000 to spend on one car,mecum is more known for the off tv deals though,an that car putting out around 200hp being light was an is a fun car to drive,your car could be worth 3000.00 more then a stock one of the same miles ,mabey more ,one things for sure guys want the hard top 6 speeds

 

i agree with you 100%... it funny...when i first start watching the auction and see a price of 20K i go wow...thats alot of money but by the end i see a car go for 20K and go wow... what a deal!! Funny how we get sucked in!! Here's my problem... i love cars...period! i get seperation anxiety... i love to buy...but hate to sell...until reality kicks in... or the wife, which ever comes first!! ha ha haa

 

so many cars for for 50.000 an more $200.000 $1000.000.000 even ,matching numbers meen nothing to me ,I would rather have a well built resto mod with a different engine non matching numbers . then an original any day ,the matching numbers cars go for 3 times or more ,wich is just crazy ,I seen one there at that site all matching 67 rs ss I think but $42,000,then a 68 ss all matching except the engine with a 396 stroked to a 412 for $24,000 that's the one for me when I get the money ehehehe

 

yup!! I once owned a numbers match big block Chevelle... very sweet car but every time i drove i thought to myself...man...i'm depreciating the value... i sold it shortly after that!! give me something i can beat on!! Like my convertable 1969 Camaro...not a numbers car, i build and installed the big block with a Termac 5 spd and i drive it like i stole it!! Love that car!! and seeing i've owned it for 30yrs now, i most likely with never sell either but thats what owning a car should be about...Drive it!!

 

No Doubt ,I drove my 95 every day for the first 6 years average 8 month per year had 10 this past year with mild winter ,it owed me nothing,then went with the 406 oldshcool ,now I do get to pick a bit more with the 99 3800,it has AC an better on gas ,for long trips ,so I have not drove the 95 in the rain in 2 years,an I beat the old lt1 up pretty good ,I could have done gaskets on it ,an sure it would have taken more pounding ,now I am getting like a softer foot as I know A heavy foot can cost money in parts an a lot of ways ,there fun though an I relize fast or slow its about the sound of the engine I think ,imagine our muscle cars with electric engines an no noise ,don't think it would feel the same ,I hear there is a govenor on them to 105mph for lt1 I am sure many guys take them out ,

 

hummm...that i didn't know, a govener... i have a nice strech of hyway here that i've sir passed 100 mph a few times on this old turbo VW i used to own, may have to try that on the old Z Question... what is 3800?? i'm sooo old school this car is my first introduction to the opti spark... what was gm thinking with that :s also haven't heard anything back about that 1LE for sale either...not that i'm surprised

 

the 3800cc is the base 3.8L I have the red one is a 99 v6 good on gas an has AC good for the long trips its a good cruiser leather seats i want in the 95 ,I take it you like to watch street outlaws,the best part of the show the farm truck guys are funny an got serious turbo in that beetle ,yes the 93 was better in a lot of ways for my engine swap ,I know got to take out water pump to get to it, Acell my last one was only $69,00 not vented I think not vented was better couse water could not get in I did not pay 300.00 for opti spark ,but it was a bad place for it,yes I had mine going 110 one time it said up hill there was no more pedal must have been hooked up still ,my 406 6.6L I gps to 125mph last year with much more to go,i just for now don't need to go faster then that with a th 350 if I raced I would want 4th gear mabey one day I love the sound ,i had few bike wrecks over the years got hit bye people that fail to yield so my Anxiety level is higher now
