Science Abuse Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 How do you buy a car and not drive it for 12 years? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-Lincoln-Mark-VIII-Collectors-Edition-92-Miles-/180505646520?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2a06f995b8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 One of dads customers had a 1990 ss454 pick up, he sold recently that he'd owned since new, it had all of 23 miles on it when he sold it. Owner of a company i used to work for has a 82 camaro pacecar when we were moving buildings in november of '07 the car had 72 miles, last i talked to him is had 103 miles on it. It's just amazing how someone can own something and not drive it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Why do you buy that car and not drive it for 12 years? Fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Fixed Yeah that's more the point. I like the cars.... because I want to drive them. It's not a collectors car, no matter what badge you stick on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Why would anyone want to drive that car anyway. It obviously can't be made to have 500hp+, nor can it handle at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 who would pay that kind of money for that car? Its literally shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 who would pay that kind of money for that car? Its literally shit. Exactly. Especially in comparison to what is available for that money today. However, you can sell just about anything on ebay and make money.

Habitual Sinner Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I put money on the first pothole of it's life taking out the airbags. Haha. 12 years of sitting has to be bad for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as easily as a Cobra of the same year....... until you put headers on it. Long tubes for that car exist, but fetch a premium. http://www.fordracingparts.com/images/part/full/M6010D46.jpg Same block, same 9 bolt mains, slightly different intake and cam profile.

OGRE Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Perfect example of a universal truth. If it says "collectors edition" on something, it will NEVER be collectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 There was a 69 Camaro on Barrett Jackson once that had 2miles on it and the original tire stickers. Person had bought it, trailored it home and parked in garage to never be touched again. They said all the miles on it were from the dealership moving it around the lot and showroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
