Strong money?

[BradCraig]

I’d say really strong money for that one, seller must be happy!

[Jeff Kleiner]

Very strong for what appears to be a relatively basic donor build Mk1 or 2.

[KDubU]

Agreed a very strong price. Good for the seller.

[tonywy]

Good for everyone. The prices on these cars needs to come up, they are way undervalued. I know how much time and money I have in my car and I wouldn't let it go for that.

[davekp]

Also. remember the buyer pays an additional 10% over the bid price.

That first link, how would a 5.0 302 donor motor have 420 hp. That doesn't seem possible. Likely half that.

[Railroad]

Kenne Bell supercharger on the second one, should liven things up.

Now I’m wondering if it’s the car going up in value or the stupid prices all used cars are going for lately. My nine-year-old Tacoma is now worth more than I paid for it.

[Hoooper]

I would suspect its just the overall used car market affect. Neither of those two cars in this thread are anything special, much nicer examples were selling for less within the last year

I've been looking for a car for my 16-yr old son...nothing reasonably priced out there.

Basic? Does your car have Direct TV? (3rd picture)

[GTBradley]

That must double as a rear view mirror.

Beautiful coupe, but two things immediately give me pause on this one. The aluminum dryer vent tube and the left front brake line attached to the upper control arm. I’d be looking deeper into that one before buying.

It doesn't say it has a Coyote engine, and BS on 420hp

I'm considering selling my Camaro right now just because of the market. It was already on the back of my mind to sell it anyways, so why not take advantage and get 5k+ more for it than I would normally.

As I prep to do my dash... what is the best way to avoid those wrinkles on the trans tunnel and the sagging on the dash?
