What is this one worth????

Hello all,
I am a newbie and have been reading with great interest all of the knowledge you all have. So I am now asking for some more. I am just getting into the speedster thing although I have wanted one for a long time. I am looking to purchase one in the near future. If I could ask you guys to give me some input on the following for sale. It is at Executive Motors in Eugene, OR. It can be seen at the following address: executiveauto.com/inventory.htm
I would appreciate any and all comments.

Thanks,

Brian,

The flared speedsters do not bring what a standard body speedster does, unless it is a very custom build then then it can top out near $20k This dealer "C" flared fendered car you mentioned appears to be a CMC aka Classic Motor Carriages . It looks to be an older build, dash looks a bit funky toward the ends, appears to have worn leather seats, the carpet looks wavy and loose, top looks loose and fits poorly, the engine bottom looks as if it were recently steam cleaned. It is over priced by $4,000 + -...

There are quite a few decent speedsters that become available for sale on a regular bases.

Use this as a rough price guide
Incomplete project speedsters run in the $3k to $7k range

* Used road worthy CMC speedters tend to command $8k to 10k

* Used Vintage or JPS are nice speedsters and can run in the $14k
to $21k range.

* IM (used)can command between $11k and $25k

Brian,

Take a look on the registry for several local speedster drivers in your area. Eddie Janis in Whitmore is very knowledgble in all things Speedsters. I'm sure Eddie can give you very good advice also.

My gut feeling is overpriced by $6K

Wow.....
Thanks for all the input. I really think this site is going to help me a lot. It's great to see guys like you willing to help out a newbie. Hopefully I won't be one for too long. I'll keep looking. However I really do like the look of the flared fender. If anyone has a great deal on one let me know.

Thanks again,
Brian

There is too much playing with the picture image to make the car look better. The pink hue indicates the gel coat has faded . They either glazed the exterior or clear coated it. This is a car you ready need to put your eyes on in person. My car looked the same though I paid $5500.

You guys are right about the pinkish tint on the body. I don't want to play the Devil's Advocate here but don't you think that, even though it needs some TLC, the '73 911 right next to it might be a better buy for the money?

Brian, I'm about 20 miles east in Whitmore, I'll be glad to meet with you and talk speedster. I make it to town once a week. 4723438.

Good God My 6 yeard old son could have put together a better kit, say away, far away!

Definitely overpriced and in poor shape.

Once again thanks to everyone.
Eddie, I would like to get together with you and find out more.
I'll give yoiu a call and see if we can get together sometime.

Thanks again to everyone's input I really appreciated the advice.

Brian

This car is out on Ebay right now. Looking at the pictures I notice it's also missing the front sway bar. Read the Sway Bar thread in the General Technical forum.

Brian, I may be in Redding on Sat. the 4th. Give me a call if you want to meet.

Eddie

definately overpriced...seems like all of his cars listed are overpriced...35.9K for a ferrari 308 gt4? The black sheep of ferrari's! that one is worth maybe 19k
