Firstly....isnt commision normally paid by the seller? :lol:
Secondly....it'll have to be this:

or this:

or if you so desire:

Next...

Althought the rim /tyre combo looks good, im sure that means he's looking for abt 40-ish?

The 20k car looks like it needs alot of work. How negotiable is it?

Thanks

PR 6700
wow!! all the time i was looking at the build of this car and wanted to ask it it was for sale until i saw this pic with the number plate.
I owned this car for 1 day back in the 80's.
I bought it for $11k one morning and drove it home then got an offer by a friend of mine for $17k that evening, sold it right there and then.
regret that now because i want one even more now but cant find any.
btw it was yellow when i had it.




he selling?

i just hadda ask

Nigie,
On average, what would you say is the overall ratio regarding participating owners of these cars as opposed to just owners who have them locked up hidden away?

Sorry i dont understand the question .....participating in what?? car shows? if its car shows i would say over 80% once owners cars are running they take part in the shows some even limp to the shows...cars like these seem to be locked away because of the average time it takes for a restoration...remember this 442 is over 34 yrs old and its not like u can get a fender in bamboo....an aside...The v8 club has gotten the give away muscle car for the next annual show..."TRUMPETS"...this car has been "hidden away for 20yrs".....ill post pics soon....of the removal of 20yrs of dust...from the car :mrgreen:

Well basically dirveable or not. Owners of these cars that participate in show and other events, as opposed to owners who just have them for their own enjoyment/leisure.

Awaiting dust pics....When's the next event?

I would say about 70% would show....and 30% personal enjoyment ..most of the people I interact with are really proud of their cars . more so when they have done some or most of the work themselves.... but the bulk of the personel enjoyment is driving the car ...having people look in admiration and embracing the personal sense of pride
