it was closer to $750k for an XY GTHO about 5? years ago ?? This was the breaking point for these (and similiar) muscle cars. Prices started dropping pretty quickly after this.

I still wish I owned my very first car......it looked just like this :cry: :cry: :cry:

You would be a lot wealthier.

On the GTHO, the A9X is actually rarer but not as valued for some reason.

On the E49 Charger, of course it was quicker, it dropped parts as it went along and just go lighter the more you drove it

these cars are neither fords nor holdens... its become nascar where the fans follow drivers not makes.

me, i'm cheering for the GREEN car with an ALCOHOL SHOP on it and CANADIAN CLUB on the bonnet.... all the important things.

Oh and any Murphy fans, he apparently has passed comment about how garbage his car is.

probably not a whole lot more. Unlikely that the owner will ever get what he thinks it is *worth* - regardless of condition.

Some owners think their vehicles are worth 10x market value.....and cannot understand why they never get the sale.

What a waste.Unless he had money to burn at the time whats the point in buying a good car or bike and sticking it in a shed and never driving the damn thing.
I'm sure some financial guru could tell us that if he'd invested his purchase price in shares or some such it would have been worth 10 times more than the A9X is now :P

Got no idea of its worth, he actually bought two at the same time, had a cash flow :D :D without going into that... but bear in mind in 77 they were worth 7 and half grand on the road, or something like that. one was his every day drive, the other went up on blocks, dont think he was really worried about further investment, just liked the idea of having it there.

Its the other stuff he had in the shed that would make most here drool, like some now very collectable jaffa's, last time i saw him and had a look in the shed, he had brand new 4 into 4 oem pipes as in a couple of sets hanging up...

Who said money didnt grow on tree's :D
