Price of 87-88 Cougars Reply #30 – July 14, 2007, 01:22:45 PM QuotePost those in "Leads" forum when you see 'em. I am avoiding cars from the rust belt though.:p You can still find some with almost no rust around, just not too often.QuoteI'm glad these cars are cheap. Makes it easier to have a variety. My cats aren't investments and I really don't care if they stay the same value. I'd like them just as much either way but staying cheap allows more in the fleet.I'm with you 99.9%. I do plan on buying some junk ones in the future once I have a place to take them apart. An investment for the rest of the cats in the fleet.:D Quote Selected

Price of 87-88 Cougars Reply #32 – July 15, 2007, 08:55:37 AM Quote from: xjeffs;160660I was simply asking if there was a trend of dream pricing at the beginning of the summer, sell pricing at the end.I find that the dream pricing occurs during the summer months and sell pricing comes around in the winter months. At least where I live. Forget about our cars for a minute but think about all 'project' cars at least 20 years old. There's a local publication that comes out weekly around me and in the automotive section, classic cars are in fact more expensive throughout summer than in the winter months. It seems that people get tired of their cars in the months were they can't do much with them so they sell them to get rid of them. Then when summer hits, they get all fired up because everyone is out with theirs so the sky is the limit if they want to sell it. Quote Selected

Price of 87-88 Cougars Reply #35 – July 15, 2007, 02:55:31 PM Unfortunately "far rarer" = Less Popular“Less Popular” = Less Demand“Less Demand” = Less $And Less $ = Your Right (“it ain't gonna happen”)And what I find funny about the comparison in the Birds to the Monte Carlos values. Weren’t these the two body designs used in NASCAR at the time and the Monte could NOT catch the Bird due to the flat back window? Chevy finally came out with the Monte Carlo Aero Coupe to get there aerodynamics in line with the Bird to have a chance?Somebody told me that story about my 88 T-bird.Seems dominating NASCAR would add some value being the winner and not the Looser! (ps. I have owned a Monte SS, they aint so hot, They are just geared like a tractor. My 84 before the OD tranny came out in 85 had a top speed of about 90. ) Quote Selected
