People not committed to dealing with a car that most parts are no longer available in my opinion.

But for someone that wants to be different and stand out the marauder is where it is

Most people don't have $60k to rebuild their entire car nor would want to

Some of those are really cheap, maybe I should buy one to ship across the pond as a parts car.

the trending lack of pictures, details and disclosue of condition is hard to understand.

Was thinking the same thing.

The high mileage cars will always be for sale--the cars that are "just cars" that someone liked and bought.

I simply think we are seeing the bottom of the collectibility curve. It it usually 10-15 years after the cars release, when the KBB doesn't reflect the "true value" of the car.

What surprises me, are the low low low mileage cars that collectors are now letting go of. <20,000 mile cars! I think collectors are trading up, and out. And I want thier cars!

I wanted the '04 <20,000 SB in Arizona. The Divorce sale schpeel, no service documents at all, my X husband... spooked me. But at the $14,900 asked, it was hard to turn away.

I was on the verge of going for that one. Then the one in Lexington with under 15k on it turned up on CL. Saved me a bunch of travel hassles.
