Sounds like the plot basis for a new Pink Panther movie

Wouldn’t they be awfully hard to resell?

I remember back around 63, one of the hottest girls I have ever known drove a 61 Impala convertible tho I doubt it was a 409. Actually I know it wasn’t as every kid in school would have known if anyone had a 409.

We all had to give a speech on “how to” do something and hers was on how to raise and lower the top on a Chevy convertible.

Yup, I was thinking south of the border and Saudi Arabia. Big car nuts in Saudi and I don’t think their conscience would bother them if some kafir got ripped off.

both valued around $50,000 — it saddens me, that at least three cars I had would have been valuable now if I had kept them....like a 1964 two door hardtop Malibu with bucket seats...but then again if I still had it I could not have sold it for any price....Still got a photo and with me when I was skinny.......HAHA

A guy I knew fairly well did have a 62 Ford 406 with 3 two barrels. I think it was 405 HP. One of my best friends had a 60 Ford with a 292 and auto trans. It actually ran pretty well.

My best friend had a 51 ford flat head V-8 I don’t recall the HP but that little V-8 would burn rubber.

You get the insurance money. You don’t have to resell. Cars like this, you get a ‘claimed value’ policy. You tell the insurer what you think it’s worth, and that’s what they pay when it gets stolen. These policies are surprisingly cheap, at least they were a ten or so years ago.

Oh crap, I own two classics. I thought they’d be impossible to resell. I’ll have to wire them up, GPS them.

They probably would have been worth $50,000 after you spent $100,000 doing complete body-off restorations.
