I know we have been bemoaning selling prices of conversions on this forum as we all know what it costs to build one. We have seen some good cars go for low numbers. However two just passed through ebay that got my attention. Yellow one went for 22 + and Zambezi bid up to 21 but didn't hit George's reserve.
Hoping there is reason to sustain optimism. TOT |

If nothing else, Ebay gives you car a lot of exposure.

I definitely believe that those in the "know" will pay for conversions that are well done with quality parts and attention to detail. Both of these examples fall into that category. Many of us are capable of doing a lot of our own work with these cars. As you can see from the shop invoice labor rates add up in a hurry...So unless you can wrench on these cars...you will spend $$'s. The point about some conversions being the cars the factory never got to build holds water with me to. Very nice to see the values rising!

I have nothing to do with this car...Just chiming in on the conversation. There are some big numbers in this labor ticket that may be questionable...However, if you can't wrench on the car yourself...you will spend what the "book says". I have over $7K in parts for my conversion and have been very patient searching for and getting deals from abandoned projects and sellers from Pelican, 914World, The Samba and ebay. Gathering parts for a conversion is much more than most folks anticipate when they do it for the first time. Many think they can do it cheaper than anyone else has...
