WOW someone actually bought that for that price ....i got boxes of emblems, some even new. retirement cometh early

 

The whole hobby is over valued now.


The demographics are now impacting the levels of participation and interest.


The majority of folks who are into cars form the 1960's are in their 60's and 70's.


In 20 years the majority of them won't be interested anymore.


The muscle car market is past it's peak.

 

when your passenger deserves nothing but the very best

 

The greater fool theory continues to thrive. I continue to be amazed.

 

Well, assuming we don't see it back on ebay in a couple of weeks... Wouldn't be the first time an item didn't stay "sold".

 

I have a few new emblems like this that I wouldn't sell for less than $200.00 ea.

 

As they say, supply versus demand - especially if there are no reproductions available...

Still available repo.....Thats quite a mark up

 

I can't vouch for the quality of the repros, but they are available on ebay for a fraction of the Year One price. I bought more than one of the originals from GM back when they were available and N.O.S. quality wasn't that great, either.

If you have a $300K W-30 convert, then I guess $200 is a small price to pay.

 

If you have a $300k convert, it darn well better have a perfect emblem.

 

Is that $300,000 the asking or selling price for that W-30 convertible? As we know there can be a big difference. Does anybody know of one that sold for that amount or close to it?
