Now what have I been telling ya'll? Now I want my 11 cars back. Ha ha Let's see what a black or yellow 5 speed will bring here at the one in Florida. Since I cannot get Rick to sacrifice his Baby, maybe I will do it. Kirby are you watching this? Is that ok? Jasper

Now Tim, was that your grading system or theirs? Hmmm? How you been? Tom

Wish thay would sell mine with the magic of B-J. They must pump lauging gas into those tents to get those $$$...$5mil for Shelby's Shelby??

I'm no socialist but maybe it's time to redistribute the wealth...

Tom--With the market and economy where it's at now is not the time to sacrafice one of your very limited number cars at B-J. Remeber its a totaly different crowd at Palm Beach. I would wait till after the election and see.

Yea but I have one sitting in the wings, I want real bad. I need to redo top to bottom. But, But, Always waiting for something! Let's see how long after the Nationals will the next B J Auction be out there in that western part of the country? hmmm? Jasper

I have a 60k mile 16V 89 that would be nice to auction off in the future. I got basic stuff to do it to, some paint fade in and a new interior and mine will appear at car showing. might appear this summer even

There you go, if they would reveal the rarity and the performance of the 16 valve models and the relative ease of obtaining parts now, they should really do well. We just need to be sure the ones they see are some of the better ones. That will help all of our values on all of our cars. Now becomes the problem, before this happens how many do we need to be sure we have enough? Before the price spike? The few I have sold, I have at times wanted back. That is why I am terrified to sell 2 of my 16 valve models, when would I be able to get them back and at what price? I am thinking heavy on it though. I have 1 or 2 more I would like I am not allowed to buy anymore without selling one or two. Hey wait a minute, I have parts cars, if I sell one or two of those, then I would be ok. ha ha You can usually find a 16 valve models if you try real hard. The prices are still reasonable, in my opinion. Ebay seems to be heading north as far as prices go, which is nice to see. I don't know why, ha ha it is just nice to see. What day or night did the red TC go thru Barrett Jacksons? Jasper

I can just see their face when they discover that they bought a 4-5 thousand dollar car for that much.

Ebay prices are going up but the auctions are ending with no bids on ones that start high and low bids on those that just have a high buyitnow. Even the 1500 dollar opening bid got no action on the black one that needed paint, leather, lien sale title work, had 160,000 miles, lack of photos or info on the softtop and had been sitting for over 2 years. Sheesh! A LeBaron conv with those issues wouldn't even get $300.

I took a client to an antique auction once with a 40 to 50k early 1900's Stickley grandfather clock in it. He bid $323,000 on it, and did not get it. He and I went out to lunch after the bidding frenzy and I asked him if he had lost his everlovin mind!? He said, look you have to understand I do 1.5 million a day in my business and what I was bidding was about 2 hours of 1 of my days. So? I guess it is all relative. If a guy just bought a $500,000 muscle car at B J and his girlfriend or wife said I sure do like that little Red Maserati, he says no problem, I will just get that little cutie for you. You sweet thing you. Wheeeew! that was easy and for only $8,500 plus buyers premium. Could have been a lot worse if she had seen that 57 TBird with the cute portholes. ha ha I did notice some bigger prices on some TC's on ebay in the last week or so. Could it be called a trend?

Just my 2 cents, Jasper

Oh nooooooooo Tom.

Not the Black one , my luck I'd they wold put that one on TV and I'd pass out.

I was wonderin when you would see this. It ain't done yet. Ha ha Tim said I would have to take the boost gauge off and I ain't doing that, no way. I may put stock pedal rubber on the pedals but I think the boost gauge is cool. Gotta have something out of the ordinary. ha ha.

My buddies Rick & Allan have got the beast running good, I just need to replace the shafts and she is about rock & roll ready. I am not letting it go unless there is another Black one to take it's place. I do believe that is taken care of, soooooo we will see. We still have the Yellow one too. That one will go 1st probably. And that is the rare one. 1 of 4 made in the 16 valve model with the Black interior & top from California. We will see. Jasper

Tom-Lakeland driveshaft to rebuild your shafts. $85 per side and i'll buy lunch!

That would get me over there in a hurry. What kind of lunch? ha ha ha ah ah If I bring the car do they have someone that can take them off and on? Hmmmm?

I'll check on the remove/replace. If you like Cuban-the Silver Ring is the BEST Cuban sandwich and black beans and rice in mid Florida.
