I just checked NADA site. The value of the GNX has shot up 111k. If you check the factory air option it shoots up to 122k. This is incrediable!
GNX Value!

Auctions like Barret-Jackson are making alot of cars untouchable to commom people!
When is the last time a GNX has been at Barrett. This is happening without their help. They have always been expensive. Back in 2000, I looked at a low mileage one, and they were over $40K then. I could have bought a 66 GT350-H for the same money, just didn't have the extra cash laying around.
I saw that ( $122k)
Made me go out and wax the old girl ,
not saying mine is worth $122k, but av price was $85k !!
just insane!
Barrett-Jackson does inflate some prices, but would any of us really buy a car there? thats for the " look at me , I bought my car at BJ" crowd!
I've sold there before, couple times, before he got really greedy, but now its just comedy. ( or televised car show)

NADA Average Price
It is insane! I'm not sure how NADA gets their prices, I would be shocked to see an average car bring $85k. A more realistic price would be around $50-60k.
I don't think many are trading hands in the $70-100k range unless they are pristine low or no mileage cars.
Just on man's opinion, I'd be happy to be proved wrong

Hey Dan, what number x did you have? What was the history of the 427 Cobras in the 80's?

ummmm realistic price is way more than $50/60k at this point ... remember only 547 cars .. looked at a few of them ummmmmm 2/3 years ago when ya could get a low mile car for $50k.. that was a lot of $$$ back then !!! GNX market is just like the 427 Cobra market in 1976 .. cars went from $10-12K to $30-40k in 6 months !!! BUT ya have to remember there weren't many 427 Cobra's either.. mine was CSX3147 ... History for 427 Cobra's???? the net couldn't handle a "carfax" report on any of those cars
just like all the Shelby Mustangs they were all mint cars and never crashed here was a before and after of mine... and a Shelby "restoration" project Attachments

When I picked mine up in 2004, it had 17000 miles on, I had it appraised just after buying it and it came in at 36k, which was right at what I paid for it. 2005 NADA showed the value of the GNX at 45K, so I had the car appraised again. It came in at 42k. I'm thinking to myself, this is turning out to be a nice little investment. I didn't have it appraised again until 2007 when I seen the value had risen to 91k. Again, if you checked the factory air option, which they all came with, the value jumped another 10k. Anyway, my appraisal came in at 80k. The reason the appraiser gave me for the car not appraising higher was the higher appraisals were for the real low mileage cars, like the one with 9 miles on it as so on; mine has 19000 on it now. New Years day I decide to go on NADA and much to my astonishment, the value shot up to 111k. Check that factory air option and it goes to 122k. Makes me wonder, what these cars will be worth when they hit 25.
Cruzn57, I'm with you! I had to go in the garage to put another coat of wax on.

Hell YA!!! I waxed and fondled it today
I think alot of people forget why they even purchased an X, or even became interested in Turbo Regals in the first place.
The recent sell on ebay for the 9 mile car was for something like $108K. I don't see how NADA can value the X any higher than that. It's one thing for NADA to say that they're worth 111K and 122K, but another for what someone will actually pay for it.
gnx value,keeps climbing
I don't understand why so many keep bashing the rising value of these amazing cars. I posted about a year ago that GNX's are the future Hemi's of the collector car world and I still believe so. I have posted mine for sale here many times, and only here, and had many offers of 75-80k, some by reputable dealers and collectors, especially in the last 6-8 weeks. I was firm at 85k, imo very fair. Make some calls on the ones listed and sold in the last few months, those of you who own GNX's will be happy, those who don't (not all) will keep bashing.

That sounds to me like it's too much of a Computer Program and not a true value. Just the fact that there were no X's without factory air and they didn't program that in the database should tell you something is up.
Here is another one I found on the dockit to be auctioned,

The WE4 was sold at BJ in Florida last year and I think it was around 40k. I had it inspected at the auction and it was as advertised. At that time I thought 30k would have landed me the car, but was outbid. Being a Thurs car just might get it to the 50k mark. If this happens exept to see GNX's at future BJ Auctions. JMO, By the way, Happy New Year to all our board members

The car was sold for $34K which includes the 10% buyers fee. It was sold to a dealer out in Arizona who tried hustling it for $50K and it did not happen. He is putting it back into the Arizona auction hoping to recover his money.
You had it inspected? What did the inspector tell you? The fillers were terrible, the antenna was stuck permanently about 20% in the up position, the paint was nothing to write home about and he had a pretty big crack on the front fiberglass. I was right in front of him under the tent, so I got to see the car for several days before it went to the blocks.
To me, I do not see a $50K car there.
I ran my 7,000 mile T-top GN through the same auction, and twinvipers ran a 6,000 mile astroroof GN through the same auction and got less than the WE4, and both cars were much nicer. The surprise was the 86 WH-1 Designer car, brought like $22K
Thank's for the info. I did have it insp. and he did say the fillers were faded but the rest was excellent. Iwill be giving that appraisal company a call, if I do not get an explanation as to why I was not told about the rest of the car I will post who they are so others will know them in Florida. Regards, Nick.:smile:
