 But, it's a hell of a mess.

Yeah it is yards and yards of visqueen is the only defense.

Why not bring back the 70s along with 70s era Chrysler ? And, that includes the polyester suits. They last forever. The bugs will never eat those suits. And, in the end they can bury you in it. 

 

We're still wearing polyester, but now we call it fleece.

 

(I hope the buyer didn't get fleeced).

Why the hate? These values are good for all of us. A rising tide raises all boats.

 

Everybody knows BaT is the place to sell cars. Sometimes I feel like sites like FAQ and Pelican are only frequented by those "in the know" or smitten by the marques. There's a MUCH broader market out there that doesn't frequent enthusiasts forums, and a good thing too.

 

We here are not the market, nor do we create the market. We're more knowledgeable about it, but we're outnumbered, exponentially I'd guess.

 

My car will someday be sold, before I'm dead, I hope. I'm thrilled this car went for $50K.

Agreed.  Almost every time I drive my 2002, someone makes an offer or asks if it’s for sale.  Same is true for the other cars I have.  Stopped by a car show last night near Daytona on my way home.  I must have talked to 30 collector car owners.  Not one of them could turn a wrench or did the work on their car.  They just wrote the check for the car that blew their skirts up.   I started talking to a guy about the chop and drop work on his rat rod.  The welds were really nice.  He looked at me like I was speaking German.  Guys like most of us on this board are WAY outnumbered. 
 

To be clear, I have no issues with people who don’t do their own work.  They’re car people too, just different than me.   My point is, the collector car market is HUGE right now.  2002’s are part of that.  Good for us!

If that Weber is a 38/38, it's garbage. I have one nearly new in the box. And, that's where it will stay. This carb has no range. Maybe it's good for racing, but that's about it. A 32/36 is better...

 

Hmmm. Well, since you’re not a fan of the 38/38, I’ll buy it for $50 (if it’s a genuine Weber unit). Seriously. -KB

Thank god that there are people out there, outside our bubble that see the 02, isn't a pinto.

 

So, you don’t think my stash of Ford Pinto’s will amount to anything? (In my youth I drove a ‘72 Pinto Wagon for a short period of time, a decent and practical little car. And, in my neighborhood there’s a Pinto under a car cover... think about that.) -KB

I remember when I was a kid you could buy candy for a nickel sometimes only a penny.

Today that same candy people will pay $1.79 for it.

 

These are crazy times we live in.

I think the Seller was overcharged for the photo shoot. To me it looked like I was looking at a 1:18 scale model, and the interior shots were way too dark to see anything (including Esty's carpet!!). I guess painting the engine bay and trunk black was a cheap way of covering the original Sahara paint.

$50k....sheesh.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Slavs but I have questions.

If you built a similar car for 15-20k what price would you sell it for?

I remember driving a new Cordoba and all the prestige I felt, are you ready for all that luxury?
