When the time comes to sell your 70's Collectible car, just remember you usually only have ONE for sale, it is rare and getting rarer everyday, original condition or fully restored.
If you're backed into a corner due to need for money, or room, or desire for a different car altogether, or lost the love for your car...........then you're forced to accept best offer.
But if not, ask yourself what will you pay for your next "heart-throb"? Research all sources and just see what a car in EXACTLY YOUR CARS CONDITION is going for;
compare apples with apples. Is yours unmolested and still have ALL matching Numbers with orig engine ? If you can't get back what you put into your car, why sell ? Leave it on Gumtree till someone appreciates it and pays what you want, and keep it and drive it and e
njoy driving something so exclusive. These rare exclusive collectibles are like Houses; they increase in price over the years...........
Houses can be built by anyone............how the hell do you build a new 1972 car ?... or even REBUILD a 1972 car from a bare shell if you can't find a good restorable bare shell ? ...and if you do, how much longer will panels and mechanicals be available for, and at what price ? The few shells or cars still left for sale aren't getting any younger. Enthusiasts in UK and similar countries that SALT their roads due to SNOW are buying OUR cars to take back to their country, because all of theirs have RUSTED themselves to oblivion !
