I’m not sure it’s not my “living in the past” old school mind that still thinks cars are not selling that high. Another thing is the replacement sheet metal that bugs me, and I have cars that have replacement sheet metal, or need it. But I don’t value them that high because of it. Of course, me valuing a car is all in the enjoyment it brings me, I’m never in it for resale, unless it’s a project car. Even then, I have to play with those before I sell em, it’s just the car guy in me.
I’d still like to see him get it for under $20k, it would please my soul and his that he’s not spending as much of his nest egg money for a hobby car, especially at 62. I wouldn’t want the car to be the reason he can’t tell the man “take this job and shove it” when that hits him.
