I think the grading bit is kind of irrelevant with myriads given their generally low grades but with nick's myriad (really quite beat up, much worse than yours) at over 5k, 6k for this one is fair to both parties
agreed with this. also, you have to take into account there were really 2 bidders on nick's sealed one (MRN helped bid that up a ridiculous amount). i still think the price overall for everything was a little on the high side, but as i said before, to knock everything out at once and to get it from someone who you know wont screw you demands a premium for sure. overall, it was a good deal for both sides.
Dain, in banking I've made boat loans and even bank a boat rental guy. The funniest boat comment I hear over and over again is: "The two happiest days of my life were the day I bought my boat and the day I sold my boat!"
That's a pretty common sentiment around here for sure, and there's definitely truth to it -- maintaining a boat is a pain, and boats are notorious money pits. Who knows, I've been puttin' off buying my Shelby for a while now, so I may just sport for that instead (or both, but I'd need to sell a few more toys!).
Dain- that KR series is pretty much my dream car. Good luck with the purchase. Please post pics when you get it.
I would take even an 08 Shelby over an 88 Trans Am. Those things just scream Cheesy Hair metal way too much for me.
You are also comparing 20 years of different styles. Why dont you compare the 88 side by side? I dont think you would be rooting for the mustang afterall. Also, its not a typical trans am, its a GTA.
Now if you compared a 2002 WS6 Firehawk to the 2002 Shelby.... Firehawk hands down.
And if you want to compare 08 models, then 08 Shelby vs 08 Camaro SS? 'Nuff said.
I have never really cared for Camaro's myself, they just don't do it for me. I like older Mustangs, but I must say that some of the nice new pimped out ones do look killer.
And if you want to compare 08 models, then 08 Shelby vs 08 Camaro SS? 'Nuff said.
Say huh whah? Which Shelby are you talking about? The 300 or 500? An '08 Shelby GT500 would STOMP an '08 Camaro SS! The Camaro SS (426 HP) would stomp a Shelby GT (~300 HP).
Wow, this is a nice lot! Congratulations alot to the buyer and to the seller! I am sorry for the late reply here by the way, i havnt checked the "Collector's Corner" part of the forum in a while, so i didnt see this thread before now.
