Electrifiers MUST research the science, economics, and geopolitics of EVs. Lefties won't let coal, gas, or nuclear power feed the grid. Renewables hardly pay for themselves IF you have sun or wind consistently. Lithium and rare-earth metals are not only costly and potentially polluting to mine and dispose of, but will enrich our enemies as we buy it from unfriendly regimes. Or did I miss the "cumbaya" session where we will all live together for the benefit of mankind?

WOW! My feelings exactly? Well said! Cadillac, Mustang or Corvette will sit you back in your seat or how about Superformance or Race Car Replicas? Of course the Euro cars are mostly bought as investments, not cars, raising the prices for all collectors.

Mine was "TIMSTR6" which was Tim's (Me) (Triumph) TR6. I was asked too many times what Timster6 meant.

I totally agree with the "too much money" and "too little sense" statements. I was phone bidding on the AMC Spirit "AMX" (A decal and add on package). It went for about double the value estimates despite problems that I was made aware of through the photos, video, and representative walk around.

NOT the facility, just the site after knocking it down. As a former AMC employee at that office, I object to Duggan's "ruin porn". It was raped and ruined after it was purchased by scrappers.

I totally agree with "looking at it". All on-line sites are rife with hidden truths (lies) that sellers don't disclose or outright hide.

Know how much you can afford and stick to it. Restorations and repairs can get expensive, especially if you don't do it yourself. And as others have already said, inspect the heck out of it before you buy - pay a pro if you must. A little invested in a thorough inspection can save thousands later. DO NOT BUY OVER THE INTERNET!!! Many sellers are indeed honest; far too many are not! (I learned from experience.) Good luck; it can be fun.

I was in Truck Pricing during the ill fated convertible venture. Some exec went to California, saw custom topless, and decided that we should make them as production. It was priced at the cost of the conversion on top of the truck price, with no profit. We couldn't give them away!!!

I worked at Chrysler during that time. Please don't credit this car to a small, elite, "Dream Team". They may have come up with ideas and designs, but when problems arose, the normal departments (procurement, plastic forming, forging, etc.) were called in to solve the problems and let this thing be built and sold. One inside "joke", sad as it was, was that we put $10,000 in the glove box of each car - an amount the company lost with each sale. Probably every car has some birthing pains, but the Viper tends to minimize the corporate effort that went into it. As for Lutz: how did it go at Exide, Bob? Executives at many levels from CEO to Directors were rewarded handsomely to "sell" the "merger" with Daimler so the workers would think it was beneficial to us, not just a sell out to the Germans.

I'm hardly a hipster at 71, but I own my second '74 Javelin. This is the AMX after having a base 304, both with automatics. It's been restored-modded with a 4th gear overdrive, 4 wheel discs, EFI, and headers. It also has almost all factory options for that year. It's always the only one of its kind at car shows. Too bad rarity doesn't equate to value!

I'm surprised that the 200 MPH Daytona didn't get better bids. Mecum was probably the wrong venue as Parnelli Jones' car was pushed over others.

No more - I used to get Jeep's oil change deal, (4 in two years) but the time ran out before they were all used and the dealer wouldn't give me a break on a couple weeks. With covid, we didn't do much driving.

Add to that journal the price of everything. It will surprise you how far overboard you've gone and not be able to recoup it, so make sure you enjoy your vehicle when you're done. Unless it's a Cobra or Ferrari, you'll never see most of your money again.

I like the Factory Five Type 65 Coupe, though I'm not adept enough to do it right. I'd have to hire it out. Since when did this become a haven for griping? Let's stick to the topic.
