values of 67-72's deja vu

[54belair]

I have looked at several trucks this year for parts to keep or for resale. More often than not Ive walked off not even making an offer. When Im standing there looking at an $800. rust bucket and they very proudly tell me that they saw one of these on barrett-jackson sell for $25000. I just want to be really critical about their eye sight and tell them what I think of their barrett jackson value. Instead, I usually just turn around and leave telling them its not what Im looking for. Too many people spend too much time watching auto reality shows!! If Ive heard it once Ive heard it a hundred times-- "all it needs is just " little fixin" and itll be worth a fortune".

Once I just couldnt stand it and as I was leaving I told the owner----"you do the fixen then and see what the hell its worth afterward". We undoubtedly live in a time when we have more research resources available to us than any other time in history----but a lot of people seem to have lost all touch with Reality than ever before.
I may be giving away my age, but I remember a time when an old junk car was Just that--a junk car, and every one knew it. Now---it just needs "a little fixen"!!
