LOL I read 2250 at first and I was thinking that sounds like a good deal.... Then I read the post title again. What BJ has done to the car scene.... Everyone has a collector now. Although if it was in the he describes with almost no miles then it could be one.... if our cars become popular (I hope they dont).

Yeah I mean...I'm sure it's a really nice specimen, but even on ebay, the nicest low mileage TCs go for like 7-8k at most.

This is a perfect nominee for Jalopnik's "Nice Price or Crack Pipe" poll.

LOL. My dad say "Put the f&*(^&' crack pipe down" when I tell him my elaborate plans all the time. Think it is favorite quote, but defiantly something you have to see/hear him say it to be funny.

There is information over at www.turbotbird.com about the Mach I special editions. TurboCoupe50 has one also.

That being said, this asking price is probably slightly more than the cost of the car when new. Although there has been a general upswing in TC car and parts pricing for the last year or so, I really don't see any price justification for this particular car other than being a rare color. The harsh realities of the market will likely set in soon enough.

Then again, last week a NOS Turbo Coupe molding piece sold for $133 US on eBay. Never discount people that have money to spend in a free market.

I've noticed the prices going up as well for these cars.If they did get more popular,perhaps there may be a small aftermarket for more parts.I read that the musclecars and a bunch of 70's cars are either climbing fast in value,or are already out of reach for most people.So,it makes sense that the cars from the 80's will start to find a bigger group of interested collectors.Without that,I would bet we're really going to be hurting for parts in a couple more years.Not much out there now.

$22,500 could get me a real Mach 1 from the early 70's.
