I'm going to let my 65 Corvette roaster go for only 125K.

Thank you BJ's

you have got to be kidding me!!
granted, it's a beautiful car and it looks to have been restored very nicely, but a '65 with a crate motor and auto trans, aftermarket air, and repro bolt-on wheels for a current bid of $105,000!!!! some bidders are crazy, if they are real bidders and not just shill bidding.

geez, I watched '65 396BB cars go for a lot less than that at BJ this year.


EDIT: opps, I just looked at the sale again. That's not a bid of $105,000, that's just a buy-it-now price. Man, he is NUTS!!
what's the deal? He over paid on a '65 to begin with, than overpaid to have it restored, and now is trying to sell it for those inflated prices AND still try to make a profit? What a moron.........

 

[BarryK]

my '65 is the original SB motor, maybe I should just spensd the money I can't currently afford, add aftermarket AC to it like I wanted to anyway, and than sell mine on eBay for $100,000. That would the investment in the aftermarket AC system well worth it.

The market is crazy. Even the basket cases are selling for serious dollars. Makes me think....

BTW, that 200R4 shifter console is nicely done. Anyone know who makes it? Among my many musings is swapping out the Powerglide.

 

[Kid_Again]

More money than brains. Well, at LEAST it has a genuine GM crate engine.

Won't sell at that price.

 

[stepinwolf]

OuUpp's missed that first time around

I was so impressed ( yeah, tell me about it ) with this marvelous offer, I did not take the time to look at ALL the previous e-bay transactions this genius made. Upon a closer examination I realized that he has a total of ZERO sales made so far.

I wonder why .? :eyerole

Probably had it done in house with decal transfers of some kind.

Paul - Try Ecklers - I just got one for a Trubo 400 shift pattern. I think it was like $40.

Holy Toledo!

I have a neighbor that is the original owner of a similar car, can’t exactly remember the engine option he has, but the car is original with extensive documentation. I have to show him this thread!

$2000.00 to $5000.00.....

Since my website gets a huge number of hits each month, and has done for a few years, the name is well known enough that I'll soon be selling all my old parts on eBay, labelled........."Pulled from 67HEAVEN -- you too can own a piece of HEAVEN".

 

[B17Crew]

"Pulled from 67HEAVEN -- you too can own a piece of HEAVEN".

I don’t know why... but I had an image of a Hootersesque girl holding up the parts on a online auction. I mean this in a good way, she is there for marketing the parts ... not a naughty auction. Maybe it was the “piece of Heaven part”.

I should shut up now and get back to the topic. Yes, Mid-Years are going up-up-up!

I think all of you are in for a surprise. I think all of your cars are going to take a good jump up in value over the next 6 months.

[midyearroadster427]

OMG

I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR THE POOR GUY THAT BOUGHT THAT CAR FOR THAT AMOUNT...

 

[paul67]

It didn't sell and the highest bid was $48,000. Not all buyers are fools.

Yes Barry, deep inside I get a little twitch when the Classic vette market is about to spike up.
