Loved that car, saw it at Norwalk. Took some time to walk around that car and truly appreciate it. One of a kind, definitely. But as was said, it sold for what it was worth to someone at that point in time. And if the guy truly enjoyed putting the car together, you really can't put a price on his satisfaction with the finished product. That would be hard to quantify. Has to be a lot of pride there for sure.

People gravitate toward the cars they wanted when they were in high school and couldn't afford or be able to build. Get older, get more $, buy the car you always wanted. I'm 49. The musclecar era cars were already out of my price range in 1986 when I got my license. What was popular then for high school kids? The ten year old Mid-70s Cutlass, Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, etc. And the new at the time G-body 78-88 cars. Mid 90s on, the g-body cars were crazy cheap, there were tons of them, weren't worth much. I spent my evenings, weekends, etc buying them blown up, replacing the engines (often times with a near free SBC), and if I couldnt make $1000 per car, I didnt bother. T-top cars, whatever.

As people get older and out of the hobby for any variety of reasons, the types of cars they collected drop in price due to either supply or desire. And to my surprise, the G-body cars are now bringing more money than I expected them to ever reach. I still have an 87 Olds cutlass salon, and an 84 Hurst/Olds, and maybe theyll figure into my retirement plan.
