72 Triple Black Duster

It's worth what I'm asking because I can afford to keep it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. We car guys tend to spend more on a car than what it will be worth when it comes time to sell it. I just had mine on e-bag with a reserve of 39,850.00 and it was only bid to 36,101.00 so no sale and no second chance offer. You could'nt build it for 39,850.00 and FYI, Its is a big deal, 528 CI 603hp Hemi, 5 speed, dana, 4 wheel disc brake, ralley dash, bucket seat, flat hood, NOM H code 71 Duster...........:bootysha:

Wow HemiMark that's pretty close to reserve price on EBay. That's very good. I don't know if I would have passed on that for a few grand. But as you said you don't NEED to sell it and there lies the difference. If someone needs the cash right now to pay bills, etc. You take what you can get in real, live, American money. If you can wait then that is most definetly in your favor.
Listen when it comes to getting money back for what you put into cars, I must admit that usually (not always), REAL cars, meaning stock, brought back to original, are the cars that will most often get back what you put into them. That being said, in this tough, tough economy, that is not even the case anymore. REAL cars are still down. If you have the money, now is the time to buy up real, numbers matching cars.
On the other hand, hot-rods, clones, resto-mods, etc. RARELY if ever get back the value that is put into them. I once built a (I hate to admit it on here) a '32 Ford Roadster. I wanted a Hot-Rod and so I went nuts building one. Long story short, when I went to sell it, I lost lots of $$$$$.
