Subjective value
Thanks very much for the post on value. I do recognize that any collector car pricing is very subjective -- do you want it and what is it worth...
I would suspect that this car (a Blue car, owned by a PCA'er in Maryland) may be known to someone within this thread...I don't, of course, know the history, but wonder if its life before restoration might have been as a race car -- for better or worse.
The car is priced above SCM pricing for a C coupe, even in the "high" category. While long term appreciation is not the primary objective -- it would be driven, for example, on this year's Colorado Grand -- the objective would be not buy in too high and end with regret. The cabrio's and speedsters are outside our budget for this acquition, and I think I know what coupes are worth and their relative appreciation. That said, since this is an outlaw and sorta one off, we don't want to start upside down.
Thanks for all for comments or knowledge on the vehicle, or the general issue of intelligent purhcasing.
