Default BB A/C bumper vert matching #'s.....

I'd like to start an open discussion on such a car. I know this may be a hard vehicle to find...a 'vert with air, but lets give it a go.

Initially I was thinking of a $30K cap on a BB bumper 'vert but I'm now willing to up it if such a car will maintain its value. I'm not looking for an investment just something thats not going to go down much.

Jim

I don't know what the going price is for the car you describe, but they're fairly rare so you won't have to worry much about depreciation. It's more likely to appreciate if you ask me.

But you'd be hard pressed to to find one with a $30k cap...unless you want to work on it instead of drive it!!!

I've got a '70 BB vert w/AC. No way I would let it go for 30K. I think it will appreciate at least 8%/yr for the next few years (not that I really care).

I probably shouldnt have made the $30K reference. That was my non- #'s matching non-A/C BB bumper 'vert cap......Now that I'm considering a numbers matching A/C car I know it will be much more.
