Default Re: The Perfect Patina ?

I can relate to high asking prices.
A few weeks ago around here there was a house auction with 2 cars, both 1930 Tudors. One was in reasonable condition and ran well. It sold for $12.5K +10 percent buyers premium. The other was pretty worn out with one window missing and brown fenders. To me it looked like a $2K car at most. It sold to a man that the auctioneer said was looking for a project for his kids. $6.5K plus 10 percent looked high to me. A few weeks ago I was driving around and saw the car sitting in front of a restaurant. It sat there for two weeks. A few days ago I was driving around and I saw it at a car lot that specializes in older stuff. I stopped and asked how much? They said $12.5K. I almost choked.

If the car was nearby and I needed it I would offer maybe half of what the owner was asking. If no sale - look on some of the Model A sites for something better.
