WAY overpriced junkers, lol!

[CBT]

Check out this website, http://www.daves-classic-cars.com/ and look at the prices for "classics" and "muscle cars", lmao! I've never in my life seen this many hunks of junk in one place with such outrageous prices. Unreal.
Here's a sample, lol.

It says it is in excellent shape, only 20 thousand!! :lol:
23770

lol, i don't know brother! check out the others, some have no engine, no windshield, no ANYthing and they want a small fortune.

[Paul T. Casey]

There are some deals there, T-Bird Turbo w/ rebuilt engine for $1K.

[CBT]

Check out the 50's section! It says is has the original 6 cylinder, omg look at it when you click on the picture :lol:

[MrBluGruv]

Their 80's cars are in way better shape for way better prices. They have a pretty nice T-Bird turbo coupe for $1000.

Honestly, for old car win, I just go here: http://www.automaniacs.com/ClassicCars.htm

Best part for me, I live like 20 minutes away from all those beauties. :D

Only 10 thousand dollars?! SCORE!! Oh look it has the duct tape holding the windshield in place mod!http://www.daves-classic-cars.com/fullpic/1969-dodge-charger-rt.jpg

Sometimes a VIN number off a rare optioned car is what makes these cars worth something. Imagine you have a 70 Chevelle with a 6 cylinder. You put in everything from bumper to bumper to make it exactly as a true Chevelle SS. Problem is that the VIN will always make it a V6 car. Now you find a trashed rare optioned real SS from this guy. All you have to do is swap out the VINs and register your V6 as a true Chevelle SS. Plus you can sell it for real Chevelle SS prices.

Something tells me the only thing rare on that lot is common sense. I can't believe the ones that are marked sold, are you kidding me? Someone close to me in Virginia just got *******ed prison style for a craptastic green Firebird, cause it says where the ultimate destination is.

I watched a show last night where they pull a car from their desert junkyard, restore it, and then auction it. I almost soiled myself when a fully restored 1970 Olds 442, with a NEW engine, went for only $14k... They only expected to get $12k. Huh? I know they made plenty of them, but still seemed pretty low.

RATS! I meant to record that show. Desert Kings or something.

[Blackened300a]

Desert car kings, last week they sold a 65 T-bird with new paint and interior for only $5500.
I was shocked a 70 442 with a new 455, paint, interior and a his/her shifter only went for 14K! They gave it away.

That's it, Desert Car Kings, have to remember to program the DVR when I get home.

I wouldn't mind having that AMC Rebel Machine as a project, but not for $5000.

On the real bad ones all you are paying for is the VIN. You cut the firewall out with the VIN plate and basically build a new car around it and thats totally legal (and not really a problem). Then you sell it on Barrett-Jackson to some sucker for 125k.

I liked the IROC with 5sp. That would be a nice project car. Drop on a 400hp LS2 motor and 6sp. I loved my 89 Firebird Formula with t-tops, 5sp and TPI motor. Wish I still had that. And I really like the T-Bird Turbo Coupe. Was my first car.

[DOOM]

Where are all the DTR's???

Over priced scrap heaps. Thought this thread all about DTR's! :lol:

I had a '90 Firebird Formula 350. Great engine surrounded by crap. The paint job was horrific. Runs everywhere. Rattletrap. I still liked it though.
I liked the Turbo Coupe too. I wanted to buy one when I got out of college, but never did.

[2,4shofast]

I cant believe he has ever sold anything! Maybe I should start selling scrap metal and call it a Muscle Car:lol:

[justbob]

I stopped in there last summer. He actually does have a "few" GREAT deals! He charges something like $2 to take a tour of his buildings and it is sooooo worth it! That crap outside is CRAP though! If you are ever on 55 anywhere near him, you really can't pass up seeing his collection. HUGE to say the least.

[justbob]

I wouldn't mind milking this one back to life!

There are some deals there, T-Bird Turbo w/ rebuilt engine for $1K.

So so deal...

That's because it's automatic and those were detuned(mostly a reduction in boost) to 150Hp in a effort to get the crappy A4LD automatic to live... Excepting for the drive shaft, a 4cyl 5-speed Stang from '87-'93 can donate most of the parts to swap it over... Just need to find someone building a race car...

If it was 5 speed that would be a good deal, but then he'd want at least double the price...

Thats what she said.

[yjmud]

[steve fox]

Next year some of these will be at auction as "excellent restorations" and somebody with more dollars than sense will pay $$$ to buy them.

Said the man who had to load his car up with bling to make it look good. Otherwise it's just another one of 8330 or so black MM's :D :P
