Once again...… What does "big money" have to do with a car being collectible?

No one as of yet has answered the question.

Too many "look at me" people vs. true car collector here?

I think 1965gp did answer it.

Otherwise I don’t know how to answer it. I’ve had my 73TA since 1979, I bought it because I thought it was the best looking and performing car I could afford. If I had more money at the time I would have bought a Ferrari GTO or Daytona. Maybe I’m just a look at me guy?

$12000 is a lot for a Chevette, but it is hardly big money? However, $125,000 for a VW 23 window van is collectable money.

What is your definition of a collectable car?

Was the Chevette diesel powered?

That was the first thing I asked Steve when he told me he bought it.

No, it was a gasser as was the other one at the auction..

I would NEVER own a Chevette as a collectable...........but a T-Grand, now that's quite an automobile!!

Oh yes Mike, that different grille makes the T1000 right up there with a Rolls...........

That made me think of the online buildup of the T1000 that went to Norwalk one year, with the rompin stompin 301 transplant.

Now that was a car to remember.............

Steve had a rather eclectic taste for all kinds of vehicles but the one constant amongst them all was that they had some effect on automotive history. He had everything from an AMC Pacer to the Tasca Ford T-Bolt as well as Lamos and a Viper.
