Guess what it's worth?

Does my guess count since I helped on the makeover ??? Steve did discuss what the car was appraised at with myself and couple of others last night and NO I won't let the cat bag . He also told us some of the offers he was given at car shows and driving around .

Only thing I will say I think some of you will be very surprised at the offers and the insurance appraisal was.

Oh by the way the car looks awesome now .
 
I know one thing...it is something that I can't afford.

Just a guess...$164K

All great guesses...


Steve the owner sent me a very nice e-mail this morning sharing his thoughts on his experience at last night's Show Car Makeover and also this thread on "Guess what it's worth?"

Steve is going to join the forum and I'm going to ask him to post his e-mail to the thread for his car but here's the portion about the value of the car with the winner listed...

As for the price guess contest. I have looked over all of the contestants guesses and have come up with a winner.

First, the honorable mention goes to Rencor as he guessed "priceless".

The car is not for sale at any price as far as I am concerned. I have always wanted an 69 Camaro Indy Pace Car since before I was old enough to drive. If I sold it, I would be devastated and would only want to buy another one. And, if I did have to buy another one, I am sure I would not find one with all original sheetmetal, numbers matching, and as in good a shape as I have made this one.

No one can replace a car I built with my own two hands. There isn't another pace car built by me to my specification except this one. In fact, I have been offered all kinds of different amounts for my Camaro. When asked to state my price, I refrain from giving one as I am terribly afraid that one day the person asking will agree to the price quoted and I would have to sell it.

So, I simply say its not for sale and thank them for the compliment. There have even been a few potential buyers that have refused to take no for an answer and believing that everyone has a price, have waited for me to go off somewhere so that they could go behind my back and approach my wife, who as you know, attends every show with me, and attempted to bargain a price with her. She has been handed many a business card or slip of paper with a dollar amount and a phone number written on it.

Thankfully, I trust her dearly, but have hidden the title where she can not get to it just in case.

Since Rencor stated "PRICELESS" he would be correct. However, since Rencor had inside information, he must be disqualified and can not participate in the contest.

The winner is RedGT.

He came in at the insured and I feel is a reasonably appraised value of $70,000. I thank everyone who played and for those that have guessed six figure quotes and higher, I am humbled at your assessment of my hard work and honored that you feel my efforts are worth so much...

Thank you.

Again, a HUGE THANKS TO YOU AND ALL THE GUYS.

So there you have it... RedGT is the winner!


Thank you to everyone that played...

I think this was a lot of fun having everyone guess the value of the project car because we work on some pretty cool stuff.

I think it would be interesting to call Don, the owner of the 1934 Ford and ask him what kind of price he would put on his streetrod and then have another guessing contest.


And here's the car in all it's glory after a show car makeover here at Autogeek's garage...
