What the fuck am I listening to.

Man, It's getting a little depressing to watch. Sinking 60k into a number matching car to watch it sell for less than 30k must hurt. Number matching restorations seem pointless at this point, You might as well resto-mod or pro-tour the thing.

I wish I could find the reserve on some of these cars. Some of them seem to be very undervalued.

>>16973347
its about how it looks, if it isnt cool looking and special with the right options it will never even get close to all the money

Not a terrible buy if you are an exotic car rental place. It's worth more than 30k even as a parts car, how much it's worth if the plan is to drive it depends on the actual service records and the reason it was a salvage at one point.

>>16973417
It's $100 to be a bidder plus tons of other fees and shit.

>>16973647
What year did Cafe come into place? My understanding is that there was a period mos American cars were horribly crappy, even by muscle car standards. I have a mental image of a brown on brown Mustang II.

the power wagon is amazing its one of the best offroad cars there is

{unsold}

Some of these late 80s and up cars I can't believe the prices people are paying.

Why do they drive some cars and push others? Do the ones they push just not run?

>>16973773
Too low or too high? If it's clean, ~10k for a nice truck isn't too bad.

>>16973778
Could be noise or worries about carbon monoxide.

>>16973778

I assume some are too heavy

>>16973232
lol did he actually say that?

>>16973781
I fucked up, meant the prices they want. I saw that 92 chevy go for 5 or 6k which was reasonable.

I'd buy a '97 Integra for $500 to race in LeMons.
The problem with LeMons is that even though the car costs $500 you still have a lot of other shit to buy.
