Evan's (REAL1) Car On The Market

Maybe both of those cars were finished off site and have already been registered?

They are the press/demo versions of the cars. Given that they are probably licensed/titled in Nevada. Call Gary P to find out.

Nope, just checked. Evan hasn't raised his price yet.

Can you imagine if that alloy FIA had paint what it would be worth?

They're both described as aluminum.

Good catch Al.

Now it looks like there's a value <deduction> of $170,000 for having painted the aluminum body.

BTW, my vague recollection is that Ned said that 1960's AC and Shelby values were around $600,000-$800,000, without decorated histories. So, the $400,000 asking price for that 7000 series FIA seems a tad high, no?

[Bernica]

I wonder if Evan has been visiting with Gary P at SAI lately. I know he paid a visit to a certain "Bob" in FLA not long ago. Maybe researching where to put the new "benchmark price" and may have learned some things along the way?

What makes you say that? Because it's painted?

Got to love this thread.

Tru

Now, I wish I would have had my alloy Shelby block (931) stamped with my KMP #of 539. Matching #'s makes it worth more.

Just one of those things I find funny and a bit sad at the same time. Of course, the people who have had it done feel differently. And that's why they make more than one flavor of ice cream.

So how long must we wait to see that nobody will pay the asking price. Furthermore, if the price is diminished much it proves that the inflated ego of our hero has degassed to the order of a well seated whoopie cushion. Lets see how long this takes.... I'm guessing he buys it from himself, at yet an even higher price! Or pay someone to patsy. I do hope this thought does not offend those who still believe in the "Real1".

I'm curios what makes you think that you are entitled to know when it sell or for how much?

[Dimis]

I'll say this, there is every chance Evan will get his number in due course.
I mean with the current rate of inflation and all.... He may even still be around to gloat about it!

Thanks for the entertainment.

You’ve been a wonderful audience. I’ll be here all week. Try the veal. And don’t forget to tip your servers.

Well you know if inflation does catch up with Evan's price, Evan can continue to raise his price. Imagine if his car remains on the market for years. I suspect that certain posters like RodKnock and JoesGarage will continue commenting frequently enough that this thread will be hundreds or thousands pages long. That way even though Evan was banned, he probably has the last laugh knowing that some people can't stop talking about him and his car on Club Cobra.

Evan will live in the heads of these trolls until they die. It's worse than the earworm. At least with those the song changes every once in a while. Here it will be Evan, then Evan, then Evan again. Forever. Pretty clever, eh?

This place has turned in to the car wreck with traffic rubberneckers. The cop tells you to keep moving since there is nothing to see but you can't resist to slow down to see what gore might still be waiting to cleaned up.

You know the state of people's minds when trolls are trolling trolls.

I wish this the internet, this place and this topic had been around in the 70's when I had to write some term papers for pschology and sociology classes.

Ya know, you could leave if you don't like it here. No one is making you stay and read our "sour grapes."

Isn't about time for the early bird dinner buffet at Caesars?

[Bernica]

No "sour grapes" here (with me anyways). Evan never did anything to insult or offend me and I have no ax to grind.
As I have said before, I think he has (or had) one of the best modern representations of the original on the planet and I only started this thread because I found the ad and was surprised that he was letting it go.

Yes, I could. But it's a train wreck!

Best buffet is Avia. Cheapest (good one) is the Green Valley Ranch.

If Evan receives some small (or large) measure of satisfaction from this thread, then I'm glad that I could provide it to him. And it sounds like he could use it too.

For the record, this thread would have died an earlier death, but not for folks who post about auctions of 289 FIA's and slabsides, for example, when Evan's is a 427SC car and who also post that I and others have sour grapes about something. I don't. I just enjoy everyone's company here, except for the NYC ding-dong with ADHD.

If Evan gets his $250,000, then hallelujah. Honestly, at this point, the car probably needs a new caretaker anyway. And ultimately, only he and his wife will know what the heck he/they got anyway.
