I bought 07798 right around super bowl Sunday it's a Nocciola GTS 20k original miles - books - tools - jack - great provenance i didn't pay 400k but i didn't pay 350k either I can tell you that I shopped for a GTS on and off for 3 years I watched the market swing around a bit - but only a small bit from my opinion as a buyer there are NOT a lot of cars on the market i watched them cool, from the craziness of a few years ago but i can tell you i watched them disappear i had PPI's done on 2 cars those cars disappeared my guess is that he wants close to 400k my opinion is that it is worth between 300 and 400 go find another one you won't make the best deal you can and take it home
<<my opinion is that it is worth between 300 and 400 go find another one you won't make the best deal you can and take it home >> Words of wisdom. Issue is not what the car is worth, it's what is it worth to YOU?
again just this man's opinion ... but i like collector cars but have always stayed in my lane which includes corvettes and GTO's and shelbys this DINO purchase was a new experience for me the most relatable experience was a 1968 shelby KR convertible it was a long long time ago - and I was in CA and the car was in NY i sent a trusted friend and real car guy to see the car and broker a deal for me he passed on my behalf - the car was 36k - i was trying to get it for 33k i was actually in europe for work and unreachable but when i heard he had passed i was bummed he had good reasons - saying that the floors of the car had been poorly replaced and the car would never be a #1 level car i understood that - so it wasn't for price he was passing but for overall condition and overall potential i tried to re-ignite the deal anyway and the guy had sold the car - for 31k funny - i desperately tried to undo that deal by offering more and letting the seller pay the new buyer 1k to break the deal no dice that car shot waaaaaaaaaay up in value in a few years (this was 2000) i always regretted not just buying the car sight unseen i knew what it was - it had documentation - it was in the registry the condition had some questions but i had seen detailed pics 36k sounded like a lot of money at the time that car is now worth 250k my round about point is ... there were only ever 518 '68 shelby KR verts ever made and the number of 4 speeds is even less this barn find (chairs and flairs on top of it all) - is a real rarity you may have to accept that you may be paying for some of its "future value" now like real estate experts can tell you the "market value" but "market value" doesn't account for inventory its not like you are comparing 5 1998 porsches and picking the best one for the money it sounds to me like you've already bought the car (at least in your mind you have) dying for an update with photos
