Projects Recreating the jesse lopez coupe

Haha! Now I see why. I about choked on my Post Toasties - but that is a good thing. Holy High Dollar Smokes! Got to be extremely satisfying for you Jerry, I mean it is validation that all of your hard work translates into dollar value, at least on paper. On the other hand, it makes the gap between build cost and market value seem even greater. Looking forward to the TRJ coverage that is surely coming.

 

Thanks Jim, I am tempted to call Rick Dore ( I now have his phone #), and ask him what the differance between replacement value and market value is. He may not have a diffeniative answer.

 

Just checkin' in to say all is well. I'm debating wether or not to get a junky trailer so that I can store both cars and free up the shop.

 

Jer are you trying to figure out how to gauge the difference between the two? I would think that would be pretty difficult as until you try and sell a car you have no real idea what the market value is. Replacement value would obviously be easier to figure out by asking shops what it would cost to rebuild exactly as it is.

 

Yup, I think you're right Ian.

I guess market value is what someones willing to pay. Beautiful cars !

 

Ask Grundy insurance.

 

early MERRY CHRISTMAS, all the best to you and yours

 

Merry Christmas to you Jerry...
