As to what it will actually sell for, that's up to what some buyer thinks it's worth. |

This same AC MK IV was recently listed here on CC for $120K:

Blasphemer! Well I for one couldn't agree more... now ducking for cover! |
Here's a 1987 AC MKIV, which sold at auction for 61,600 GBP (British Pound). So based on the 9/7/15 sale date, where the conversion rate was 1.53, this MK IV sold for $94,000-ish.

Well, when selling set the anchor price by starting high---studies have shown that even random* anchor prices result in higher sales prices.
* Literally random---roulette wheel with random numbers. Amazing how the human brain works. The internet (and guys like you) are an equalizing force in the market. DD |
The current owner reported 2014 he paid $19k for the vehicle.

Alloy CSX4000's are selling for $150,000. And in my book, they're well above AC MKIV's on the "depth chart." The alloy CSX4000 body is accurate (it's a Kirkham :)) and you get a big block. Oh, and you get a badge too. :D Factual sales data points mean everything. Asking prices, appraisals and other opinions of value mean nothing. ;) |
The AC/Autokraft cars have a special attribute in Europe in that they can be registered just like another 1986 car. That has a lot of value over there. The seller here could export it and still make money.
But then the myopic trolls will always have something bad to say. |

Tony, not sure why you always veer towards attempting to insult and belittle me, but the psychology books would probably say that it makes you feel better about yourself, because life isn't treating you well. Maybe turn a new leaf and generate some positive thoughts about others. Honestly, I hope calling me a "myopic troll" makes you feel better about yourself. It doesn't bother me at all. :) If you would have read an earlier post of mine, I posted an ACTUAL SALE at an auction IN EUROPE (England) for an AC MKIV. And the price was $94,000 USD. Not so special I guess. ;) As they say in Vegas, "read 'em and weep." :LOL: |

I don't know - IMHO I wouldn't say that SPF Slabside is ridiculously overpriced. That is a really nice car and except for the body material, very faithful to the originals. It's priced significantly under what he has in it as the original owner which reflects these replicas will seldom be worth what it costs for the initial build. Assuming he has a little room to move on the price, if I were in the market for a slabside I think it would be looking at it closely.
Obviously we have different ideas of what things are worth....or are in very different tax brackets. ;) And I don't care how much he overspent building it, I could build two ERA Slabsides for that. |

And I suspect that those dealers won't be selling their AC MKIV's any time soon either since the last verifiable European sale is $94,000. At least the last and most recent sale you could find googling. The last couple of alloy CSX4000's were sold at around $150,000. Evan's CSX4206 is priced at $250,000. Shelby is asking $400,000 for a demonstrator 50th anniversary FIA, when genuine 1960's 289 Cobras have sold recently at auction between $750,000-$800,000. IMO, there's a similarity or symmetry with those cars and their asking prices. |

I've never added all the receipts up for my ERA but just the big ones in my head go over $50k and I know there is probably another $15K on top of that. And I have 5-pins, vinyl seats, jag rear, Chev brakes, a mutt FE motor, did all body/paint/assembly myself. |
