Maybe to the people who have the money to buy these great restored cars don't care as much about "how original" they are,only that are great cars that have been restored to a condition that they can enjoy. It is not as if they are rare car or one of a kind car. Just a great car to drive and enjoy.
Yeah but I swear on Tuesday and Thursday the EXACT same car will go for60-90% less than ones on the weekend. I know BJ sets it up that way so they gradually get more and more expensive... ...but Im telling you its the EXACT SAME car. Why on earth would one with the exact same paint, engine, interior go for so much less when they BOTH will be frame off restorations, matching numbers, etc. I have all that HD crap at home. I see no paint chips or runs, I see that the same exact redline tires are used. I even see the same texture in the leather/vinyl. So tell me, why?!?
Another reason I dont really car much for the 60s+ domestic cars is because I see them every day practically on the road. A classic mustang at least every day. Classic camaro once a week, and no they arent the same people. And the thing about the mustangs tick me off. Coming from a mustang owner I know... ...within the first few years over a million mustangs were produced and sold... ...and they are ALL RARE! Even with modern mustangs, each one is RARE.
Lets see, California Special, High County, Blue Bonnet (TX edition), Twister, Collor of the month, rainbow of colors, Limited Edition 600 Mustang, indy pace car, indy 64, indy 79, indy 94, shelby, saleen, roush, steeda, foose, ford racing (FR500), warriors in pink, 25th, 30th, 35th, 45th anniversary, mach 1, cobra, cobra r, svo, and thats just a few. Of those theres different years, different colors, different body styles, different options. Even if they only made 5000 in a specific color, owners claim its rare. Heck my 94 is rare, only I cant back that up with numbers. But let me know if you see another 1994 with red interior.
Anyway, point is, every car on the block is special. But most just look like every other car you see daily. But why should one go for 60% less and why was it chosen to be auctioned off earlier in the week?
