Title: Such high $ ask for trashed Europa's, actually considered value of mine.
Post by: Richard48Y on Monday,August 15, 2022, 07:29:25 PM

After looking at the latest S1 offering on FB.
With such high $$$ asking prices for trashed Europa's, I actually took a moment to consider current retail value of mine.
May have been the heat affecting me.
S2 with TS and the good stuff, Webers, headers, intact windshield.
I turned down $10K before I even got it home.
Even at say $15K, I would only be PO'ed with sellers remorse before it was out of sight.
I've made the mistake of selling some wonderful cars in the past due to "Necessity", or greed.
It took me forty eight years to obtain this one.
Would have had one new if the dealer was not a jerk back in '74.
So my current valuation of my very much a project car is, PRICELESS!

I'm with you Richard! Even if my daughter would allow me to sell it, I wouldn't. I'll probably be buried in mine.
