I wouldn't even bother looking at any of it, dude made it clear he doesn't want any serious buyers to look at his junkpile.

This is flawed because I can show you 20 late 70’s TA’s for sale for 20k plus. All you have to do is say you don’t think they are worth that and unless I have proof of what they sold for then I am wrong.

Everyone is free to have their opinion.

Just because someone pays a high asking price doesn't mean the product wasn't overpriced to begin with. People are weird and if they have lots of money will often spend it on stupid chit just because they want it.

I'm pretty convinced that if I wanted to buy a nicely finished musclecar for a reasonable price I should attend a Barrett Jackson auction. I always see cars that have probably $60k+ spent on them selling for half that at those auctions.

Allow me to submit a "real world" selling price...Sold today on Ebay via auction.

1969 GTO Ram Air III, numbers matching. Complete car, intact. Badly rusted body, but solid underneath. $7322.

Not $20k. Not $30k.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Pontiac-GTO/163375997063

Maybe someone on this thread bought it and will list it for $30k....

Oh, and that blue '69 with the white top is a $5-6k car.

That car will sell for 35K easy.

After about 40k spent on it.

I love that car! I love the color,the wheels... the two tone/wood grain looks good. The price is not bad either. If it's done well, it's worth it.

No pictures or info about the few pedigree cars mentioned, but pictures mostly of what looks like a whole lot of junk. In order to buy the few cars worth buying(maybe, based on pedigree only), you have to buy a whole bunch of junk that you now have to deal with as well. Looks like about a $75k collection to me.

First clue that this might not be an old guys rusting stash is that there are no weeds growing anywhere and no trees growing up through the cars. He throws somewhat of a curve stating the 40 years since most of his stuff comes and goes at a pretty good clip. While it is a hobby/business for him, he employs several mechanics, body men, and yard people. I've seen about a dozen of his restorations go through Barrett/Jackson, and have been up to his house a few times. I've got friends that have purchased both completed and project cars from him and they have sold him project cars. He has buildings full of parts and almost all his stuff has been cleaned up. Here's his website:
