Re: Another inexpensive Pace Car (Rhys)
The L82 4-speed equipped model seems to be bringing in much better prices. Personally I wouldn't buy one without an L82 and 4-speed.
In the early 90's I had a '78 SA with the L82 4-speed and it really made the car come alive compared to friends of mine that had the standard L48 and TH350 :smash:

They just do not bring much money...I guess it is simple economics of supply and demand

Not sure what you are trying to say here. They sure DO "bring more money" than any other 76-82.

I mean compared to what they thought they would be worth......When they were built......... and so readily collected

Re: Another inexpensive Pace Car (Rhys)
Oh, no question about that. Cars are never a good investment (in general)[/QUOTE]
Now I will disagree with that...I have made no less than 4k on the last 3 cars I have owned...Buy them right..(The right car) and fix them yourself....I did 2 GTO"S and a 67 convertible Firebird....
