SMART-ASS ANSWERS TO HOW MUCH YOUR CLASSIC CAR'S WORTH


[+] serious ballot by nuckinfutz
ACTIVE Sat Mar 22, 08 - Thu Dec 16, 10

I classified this as serious because it comes with a serious rant. Whenever my dad's at a red light or something while out driving his convertible '55 Chevy, passersby always ask him "How much is it worth? How much is it worth? How much is it worth?" ad nauseum. It's all that matters to today's car collectors. It pisses me off how investors are driving the prices of classic cars up to stratospheric heights, a fucking brown Trans Am with 18,000 miles on it went for $100,000 at the BJ auction yesterday. Many of these investors have little or no interest in the cars besides their investment potential, they stow them away in a garage until their monetary value increases substantially, without ever driving them or enjoying them. It keeps these cars out of the hands of many more deserving enthusiasts.

I applaud your sentiments, Nuck, but it's a free market.

I can't believe that someone's stupid enough to pay $100,000 for a bloody Trans Am, though.

Yeah, it is, but it still pisses me off.

Can't agree with you more on this, nuck.

I'm not into cars at all, but comic books are my life, and investors almost ruined the industry back in the late 80s and early 90s with similar runs of speculation that created a glut of now-worthless books on the market. Maybe when classic cars start going for chump change, they'll stop pushing the edge.
