Question About Value
http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/2873052189.html
This is an NOM car. Everything works. Paint is an 8/10. Interior is 8/10. Frame is great. Said he'd take $44K. Does this seem high for an NOM car? It seems a little on the high side to me. Your thoughts are appreciated.

There used to be a huge price difference between Corvettes with/without original engines. Then the market was flooded with re-stamped engines and companies willing to re-stamp engines. It was a big business to fool buyers and make money. Then in the 90's dealers like ProTeam (always ready to make more profit) raised the prices on NOM to where it matched those with the original engine.
At one point I would have preferred a NOM just because if it was claimed to be an original, it was probably re-stamped.
Now the market is so wacky it is hard to tell anymore.
JMHO, but I think the 66 you were asking about is over-priced and will need a lot of freshening.

Different people have concerns about restamps and that may show up in peoples anxiousness about buying the big money cars without docs, but in general an NOM shouldnt be anywhere near an original motor car's price.
