<VV> Future Corvair values according to BJ

[Western Canada CORSA]

I believe he was saying that he has actually sold LM turbo 'verts for
upwards of $50K.

I wish people would realize that B-J prices are not a real reflection of the
everyday market for almost any car's value.  I'm not saying that the B-J
prices are wrong, quite the contrary.  I think they are a reflection of the
B-J market.  Those guys go to extraordinary lengths to facilitate the
bringing together an exceptional selection of cars and buyers.  Folks are
paying a premium for that.

If I had the dough (which I don't) and if I had the desire (which I don't)
to purchase, say, a '63 split window Fuelie Vette in red with a white
interior, (this is a hypothetical car) I could spend hours of my time and
wait years to find that car.  Time is money, and especially if you have the
wherewithall to purchase a car like that.  It's just easier to have B-J
bring you three examples to choose from, and you pay what you gotta pay to
get it.  But you'd be a fool to think you could turn around and go back to
easternarmpit/state and put it in the local autotrader and get what you paid
for it at B-J.

This show is pure genius.  Craig Jackson gets to get paid to take a tour of
the US, building contacts and his roster of potential cars to bring to his
auction block.  Pure genius.

Regards,
Joel

  Hmmm....can't imagine G. Jackson (or any car collector/dealer) saying:

    These babies were all lemons - I'm sure their gonna lose their value 
    Don't bid on this one unless you're one fry short of a happy meal :))

  Take a look at the old communiqués - say the mid 80's -- compare 
  the prices to what vairs are selling today!

  Is the price of corvair going up? 50k....maybe he was talking about
  the mileage :))

  Regards,


  Tony I.

>I was watching a show on Speed tonight called Barrett Jackson on the road
and they were at the Charlotte Auto Fair.  They had a Corvair up on the
stage (a LM convertible natch, the best of the best) and Greg Jackson
commented on it and said he thinks the Corvairs are going to go up in value.
He mentioned something like $50K.  I dunno, we are cheap people.  How are we
going to handle the hoy-paloy rich cats coming into our hobby?  They had it
on stage with a Gremlin though so it wasn't all love.  Actually, the only
disparaging thing they said had to do with this particular car not blowing
burning oil fumes into the passenger compartment.  He quickly added "just
like the Porsches and VW's".   It was nice to see a Corvair in the
spotlight.  I forgot who's car it was, someone in South Carolina.
