But if that's how they are evaluating them, according to their own website, then one would think that they would also use those numbers for "Agreed Value" policies, right?

...........OK my opinion :D. The net can be a good thing and bad... Some are very sarcastic an have thick skin while others just can't handle it. I like to rattle guys up.. Then when ya finally meet some of these guys they are nice as can be. Especially the old ones :p

........ Now back to the car.... Car is beautiful. Worth the $$$$????? Not to me BUT I don't need it. I really wouldn't want a car that nice. . All ya need is one guy that actually has that kind of $$$$ and is looking for a car like that. AND it is a CSX # car... Again some care some don' t. I wanted one because I had an original 427. Had a lot of Shelby stuff over the years so it was on my want list.

.... OK..on vacation.. Missing my dog and cars:3DSMILE: oh oh.. Wife is calling me :JEKYLHYDE

I'm not an insurance expert. But market values haven't doubled in 3 years. In fact, for many, many, many years, Evan believed his car was worth north of $200,000. If market values truly have doubled in 3 years, like Haggerty states, then CSX4206 should be worth $400,000+ now.

And I know all the CSX owners out there will be re-running their computer programs and calculations if, and when, Evan's car does sell. I can see you now Bernica. If Evan's car is worth $250,000, then mine must be worth $235,000. :LOL:

Yours was an original, Evan's was not
You didn't need to justify authenticity, Evan spent a decade telling us why his was a "genuine real one"
Yours was out of the lime light for something like 40 years
Evan put his in the lime light every chance he got
Don't know you, never heard of ya :) but I'm sure you're not like Evan and a nice guy
Evan, ask around, a blowhard thread opened up in his honor

My overwhelming impression of Evan's posts was that he always had to weigh in and say something. I'll leave it at that.

OK, no SOUP for you! :LOL:

It just takes one buyer that knows what he wants, either in his heart or knowledge.

I watched a friend sell his pretty rare Ferrari and was there for the deal. My friend had the price higher (by quite a bit) than he was willing to take. The guy that came to see it simply looked it over and said "How much?". He told him and the guy just said "Deal" and that was it. Sold.

You never know....

Evan thanks you for this astute observation and has now corrected the inconsistency :)

He should hire me as his auditor/accountant. At least we know he's reading this thread.

Proofreader maybe, but auditor/accountant? I think he has that covered.
And yes, I'm sure he's watching...:3DSMILE:

So, the macroscopic view of this is:

No soup without badges??

:LOL:

Joe's Garage 03-03-2016 11:39 AM

No, the macroscopic view is that "badges" equate to soup with bread and you better be prepared to pay the $3 for a freakin' bread stick.

Blue66 03-03-2016 12:49 PM

Dammmmm,.. Even sure is in a lot of guys heads :D

GO EVAN !!!!!
