As of the past year or so, used alloy CSXs have been going for the 125-150k range. Glass cars were in the 65-85k range. Now glass cars are closing in on 100k, and alloy cars are going over 150k.

It doesn't hurt to try. We all would like to get as much as we could for something we are selling, right? Nobody here would say "na, I won't sell you the car for 200k, because it's only worth 150k, so just give me 150k", if someone were offering 200k.

The only way to find out, is to ask .

Another example of this would be the 67 Shelby GT500. One guy pays close to 200K for one (inaccurate at that) at BJ and the market goes crazy. Before the auction the best they were getting was in the 75-85 range for a good restored GT500. I know this first hand.

Zacctly, but the problem with the BJ car was there were two very rich "rivals" bidding on that car.....neither wanted the other to have it,that's why the bidding went crazy....before it went on stage, the seller said he was hoping for $100,000.00 to recoup his investment in time and parts and make a small profit on the car,needless to say, he was real happy with the final bid.....it was stated that these same two guys had gone head to head on a number of cars over the years......It wasn't about the car, it was about pride and who could show up the other guy........

right after that stupid episode, the original-unrestored-parked since the early 80's green 67 GT-500 that I drive by weekly tripled in price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all thanks to a few idiots at BJ........
