Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted January 18, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 18, 2017 I know a bunch of you guys hate this auction but I'm a fan. I really like that they know do Tuesdays since this is when a lot of the normal vehicles cross the block. A ton of pickups tonight, clones, drivers and late 70's cars. Interesting to see the 70's corvettes starting to climb in value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a friend had a fully rebuilt one for sale and I headed over there with cash in hand. Once I sat in it, I knew I'd never buy one. The interior dimensions are just too small for me. I owned a 79 Freewheelin Bronco 25 years ago and I'd buy another if I could duplicate the reflective stripes. Theckicky was writing the sale price in the sold sticker too which I think is new.

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted January 18, 2017 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 18, 2017 I was the only guy locally with a Bronco in those decals. There was a pickup in town with the same. There is a guy who has made replacement decals. Last time I checked they were around $900 for a set. My first vehicle was a '77 F100 Stepside with the Freewheelin stripe package. It had aftermarket stacks and dingle ball curtains in the rear window....lol My dad bought it for me when I was 17. In the late 70's and into the 80's, decals were a big deal since performance was dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy just bought a '69 this summer.2 owner car, second owner had it for 25 years and was a GM mechanic. Its a 350 auto with 50,000 miles on it. He paid $25k for it and thought it was a good deal. Said he'd been looking for 5 years and there was a lot of junk out there. He had seen this car at a car show 2 years earlier and gave the guy his card. The guy called him up and said I'm selling if your still interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the rich "fat cats" that don't know how to mix bondo or change out a rocker panel started showing up along side their own personal money pit restored cars at the car shows and piling up the trophies....I lost interest. I want to see and talk to the guy that put his love, dimes, blood, sweat and tears into his car and drove it to the fucking show. Those are the guys that keep these classics on the road and popular. Not the rich dude that dropped $150 grand into the restoration to get $85k for it at auction and could give a fuck less. I'm simple that way I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a whole, it has inflated the price of old cars out of the range of most enthusiast coming into the hobby. Most of the guys I know with cars have had them for years, before the auction phenomenon. Putting together 20 thousand for a toy is in most peoples grasp, 60-80 thousand is not. You are right, these guys are checkbook enthusiasts, which is fine if you don't have the skills, but selling and buying these cars for outrageous money, to pump your ego, hurts the little guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Did a little work to this a few months back. 65 thousand dollar car. Looked beautiful at first glance. Once I got into it , found out it was all patches. Felt horrible for the customer, really nice guy. He thought he was buying from a reputable place, and they scammed him.

It came with a nice build sheet of all things that were supposedly done to it. It was suppose to be a frame off / frame up restoration. They smeared bondo over it. We went to replace the back glass, and after it was pulled there was nothing to hold the new glass in. pinch weld was all rotted. they never pulled anything. Patch panels right over old rusted quarters and wheel housings. They are well known around here............I'm not going to say who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Those old cars and trucks are pieces of shit compared to the ones today. With the prices some of them are going for I would much rather have a newer model. And with the rust on those old things... Fuck that.

If you didn't grow up in it or around it, then it is probably meaningless to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
