First of all I want to say ,Beautiful car,I loved it since i first saw it on another site.
But,Are you saying that you had multiple offers of what would have to be in the $65,000 to $95,000 area ?
Thats what the offers would have To be ,to be in the realm of a low mile gnx. All Because it has a color that was so unpopular when the cars were built that only a few were sprayed that way.
I collected cars for decades + a color can influence the value of a car to a point, maybe 25% at Best,+ that is always due to a perfomance or high impact colors,Like grabber blue on a boss 429,the most popular color.curious yellow on a 71 cuda,or some specila reason like highland green for 68 390 mustang fastbacks,because of bullitt.etc.+ that is on big dollar collector cars,Turbo Regals are not collector cars, other then the gnx's.
But never has a very tame, mundane color,tripled or quadrupled the price of a car. or added any value to a car for that matter.
In this case because it is a rare color, thats not hideous+ it's also on top of a minty looking,limited,it does add some value,but not 300 or 400 % of the cars value.(And if the car has been repainted that kills alot of the interest of a rare color)In this case it's not that it's a great color,its just that nobody ever see's that color on these cars,so it's a novelty + yours is so nice,and is on a great combo with the vinyl roof + the chrome package etc. that it looks even better,I think if you saw this on just a t-type with no chrome package + no vinyl roof dresssing it up it would not be too inviting.
I just found a one owner,Very rare color + model/ combo,I think this combo may even be 1 of a kind, super low orig mi, orig paint car with full docs,that is prob going to sell for under 15k.
I know 1 other member knows of this car i'm talking about so please don't mention it here as i am prob going to make an offer on it.
If i buy it i would like the names + #'s of the people who made offers on yours because i will let my new one go for, a mere $60 k or so, maybe even 50k. If someone pays crazy money for a car because it is a color you don't see often it's their own fault when they have to take a huge bath when they go to sell it.I'm also looking at a rare old muscle car with a scarce color that he is touting as a rare desirable color but the car has been for sale for months now + is down tens of thousands of dollars on the price,+ that one is a top of the line collector car with a somewhat decent color.
when i put an ad in the cars wanted section,for something diff + not run of the mill, i got some pretty interesting,replies from people, who had cars that because of some little thing they thought was diff,like lack of power window's,+ cruise control + acted like that was a good thing,+ was asking big bucks for his "Factory Lightweight) or a car with a little bit of an interesting history but that had no ,effect on value, that had been smashed + a whole new front clip put on,for big money, because of the history.
This is in no way a put down of your car, I think it is beautiful,+ would love to have it + would pay a premium for the car because of condition + a great,combo.
But if someone offered you low mile gnx #'s which themselves are way over inflated,for your car because it's light green,(think about that for a minute),
Then i think everybody involved needs their head examined.
.
Several of the collectors who have contacted me had no turbo cars but wanted one for there collection that was rare. So somehow the word is out there and more prevalent than one might think. In the end its whats having a factory Vin 7 car this car color worth and mean to someone.
to the top!!
Nothing like running your mouth about a car you have never seen in person or know ANYTHING about but you can tell us what its worth
