HIQ,

I'm not saying one car is worth more than another, or better/worse, or any of the other hundred arguments that get played out here on Club Cobra... all I was saying is that worth is only really determined when a buyer and seller agree on a price; - that - is the market value for - that - product at - that - point in time.

We can all argue all day about what a car should fetch compared to a different car, but it's all kinda meaningless. As long as that person is satisfied with the deal, then they are doing pretty good in my book.

For my purposes; worth=value=dollars - they all mean the same thing, at least in the context of this thread... remember the topic was "will this car bring this price?" it wasn't; "is somebody paying too much or too little for their cars?"

Any other value, (other than dollars), we put on 'stuff' is purely subjective. I've got more cash in my car than I should, largely because of bad decisions I made while building it. What's it worth to a buyer? who knows - compared to a SPF, ERA or Shelby (all three of which I love btw) probably not much. If you are talking pride and/or sweat equity, I can't put a price on the car.

In terms of rarity, I should score pretty well considering there's about 3 of us in Club Cobra that have Everett-Morrison's (just kidding, actually I think there are 4)

- Thanks for listening to my rant

Dan
