But I bet if one of those high profile movie star singing bling bling kaching kaching bank accounts seen rubbing elbows with Robin Liech( rob N leech ) had a problem with their car car looking bad on "The Rich and Famous" Unique would probably fix it for them and tell noone that they had to fix it along with giving the next greatest high dollar sale to them and making them feel sooo special. :bsjerk:

      But who really knows what they will do until it happens and it sounds like it will happen.

      So until then it will be nice to see the rich and famous drive the value of our cars up and know that the quality of what we are building will always be worth more down the road than something they build.

      I always believed that someday car guys would finally tell the people with a 50k car in the drive that is the daily driver for them to go away and find someone else to make them feel special unless they want to give more for the car that is going to make them be able to brag to their friends about the cool classic car they drive. If it doesn't cost more than what they will spend on a daily driver ,what would make it so special unless they called the guy a sucker that sold it to them so they can feel better than the rest of us. I am just glad that times have changed and car guys have wised up



      I feel sorry for some of the kids these days that want to have a musclecar and can't afford it now after only a few short years ago their dreams could have been a reality.

      they just have to settle for a fox body Mustang or some other cool car. Everyone can't have a 69 Camaro or a 65 GTO..I just bought a pretty decent 69 Mustang fastback the other day for 5K..could have made a pretty nice car out of it for another 2,500 and some of my labor..also bought a 69 X-33 Z-28 original Ralley Green car..numbers matching trans, and 12 bolt rear..no motor..needed one quarter and pans to make a nice car..$10K.. Goodmark does the sheetmetal work now at their shop in Cleveland Ga. They're reasonable,fast and do very decent work. The cars are out there. Just get in and don't whine about some rich guy running the price up. Whoever heard of anyone whining about stocks going up. Only one's doing it are the ones who didn't buy stock when it was lower. What about the guy that has a collector car. Is it fair to wish his car won't go up in value so somebody else can afford one? I don't think so. when a 69 Camaro goes up, the 67 and 68 go up too..so does the 70 71..even the later 70's and 80's are moving..Johnny Hunkins red Camaro he's doing in PHR is going to look pretty good once they change those ugly ask bumpers. Even the later Malibus look good with a few modifications to bumpers etc. Rich guys are absolutely good for this sport overall..I buy and sell these cars..who wants something that won't increase in value? There's two sides to every story..I side with the values continuing to go up. They've gone up too fast on some cars. There will absolutely be a price decline in them in the near future. Once the stock market gets consistent, interest rates climb higher, people will have more choices where to put their money..you will see the speculators jump off..be ready to buy
