The guy called me back and tried to lowball me on the GTO (which I kinda expected). We talked for a bit and he wasn't willing to meet my price, so I still have it..
Frankly for what the car is and all the things that have already been done, I think $15K is pretty damn cheap.
Tracey, Have you considered marketing it through the enthusiast clubs? I've sold a number of specialty cars and always started there first. I ended up shipping most of them, but that was arranged by the buyer anyway. I usually got top $$ that way. You probably are already informed but here's one list of resources -
They do a bunch of Barrett Jackson cars that used to go into 7 figures. I think that has calmed down some, but when I toured their facility they told me they also specialized in clones and recreations. Yours is a real GTO with some non-original stuff, so maybe all the better. I would send them an email and see if they're interested. At one time they were selling GTX clones for $150k. Not sure about a GTO.
Great timing Chuck! My attachment points pulled out of my trailer yesterday and I was going to install some 1500# D Rings in their place. Those Versa Tracks look like the shizzle.
Thanks for the tip Bob. Yeah I have considered that alternative ad I may well end up going that route. I was kinda hoping a local would buy it so I could see it when it was all put back together!
