Just how much are the none S long hoods now?

[look 171]

I did make it to Patrick Long's event in downtown LA today instead of going out to the race in Fontucky. There are A LOT of long hoods here in Socal. Some are absolutely beautiful some were drivers and still they were beautiful too ( me like em' so much more). I think all long hood owners took their cars out today to this event. I am hearing these prices and they are just out of this world. Asking price is one thing, but getting it is another. So, just how much is a none S driver worth? None matching number car, even if it has some funky mods like larger wheels and graphics that do not belong? I was hearing numbers above 100k for these things.

There were two E Targas (both 69) that sold on eBay last year for $94K & $96K Both had shiny new paint.

[look 171]

Oh no not this one. It has chipped and faded paint. Looked like its been around the track a few times and put away wet. Worn seats and just looks like a 35 year old car. I hear the owner asking over 100K. This was a coupe, still, over 100?

You can ask whatever you want, doesn't mean you will get it.

There is a guy on eBay wanting $21,000,000 for his car.

There is another one for $65K with no motor.

Only reason I was watching the two E's is I will be putting mine up for sale after my operation on the 21st. That is if I make it, if I don't it's my kids problem.

Hope it is nothing serious and that your kids aren't screaming around in the old E anytime soon....

Have I missed something? That sounds a bit worrisome. Hoping all goes well for you on the 21st GWN7. Will be focusing positive energy your way .

I'm gonna sell my 77 ROW soon as well - not taking anything less than 35K. I may have it for a while.

Oh boy, I hope everything goes well for ya.

I have a sunroof '70S that is original in that the paint is correct for the year but not as per the COA. The MFI motor is within a year of the COA but again not correct as per the COA but everything else is correct (deep sixes. trim, radio, etc) and its a really nice driver with fresh Elephant suspension. When it goes up for sale this year I would be amazed if it sold for over $100K but maybe I am wrong. The Hagerty value on a #4 was $110K I do not know how accurate those indexes are.

Best of luck man, keeping you in my prayers.

If you "watch"the crap on EBAY it is relisted over and over .
Even here on the for sale board there is stuff listed way out there in Lala land .
Go look and see !
It is free advetizment..so I guess they have this remote whimsical idea of "what ifs and a few maybes ."
No one is going to pay 90K for a 1975 Targa!
Like said - "asking is one thing , selling is the absolute as to what it is worth ."

GWN7, (Bruce the Canuck) had a heart attack. There was a post from Joe Bob on it.

^^^^ I agree 100%. It appears the long-hood market could even be softening. It reached a point where EVERYBODY would sell for the current price, BAM!...flooded with inventory. Even Seinfeld sold a bunch of cars.

Unique cars are still strong, but the stock T's and E's are just sitting at $70K and $90K respectively. Hot rods too, taking much longer to sell. A year ago Paul Kramer couldn't keep a long hood or long-hood hot rod in the Auto Kennel more than a few days. Now there are a couple that been there for a month.

My 75 long-hood backdate hot rod sold for $112,500 10 months ago (a backdate???). I doubt very much I could get that now..Excellence Mag article or not.

Everyone is going to hold their breath till the election passes.

The T's are around in greater numbers and everything was an option back then. When I received my COA I was surprised how many options were added to the base model. From AC (dealer installed) to the "S" trim, the original buyer had fun. A well sorted 1973.5T with 2.4L and CIS. Fun car and in the ever more popular Sepia Brown.

Does a 73T make it more valuable then a 72 because of the halo RS car year?

Are those guys losing money who did the hot rod mods or RS clone from those early years. I saw some there that were beautifully done. The original cars all dolled up were just original, and OK.

[GG Allin]

There's a guy around the corner from me with a very nice looking 71 T. Maybe he's unaware of the market. I should drop by with $20K cash and see if he's selling.

[aigel]

Oh man, I worked with a guy who had a 73S targa. I recall he sold it for mid 20s about 8 years ago ... I had no interest in it. It was slower than my SC ...
