Yep -- that's the way I've always made a small fortune with cars -- You start with a large one...

Car cost a million to build - sells for half that....

I have no idea what it cost to build -- I'm just laughing to myself - as that's the way the car hobby always USED to be... build a car - drive it awhile - be lucky to get enough out of it to get a good start on the "new" project.

If Erv gets 500gs for Razor He'd being doing a ok! It wasnt in his posession long enough for him to enjoy it. Maybe Ill head up the street and check out why hes dumping it. Another project? Knowing Erv he probably wants another Porsche.

I always find it sad when a car is sold that soon after being done.. enjoy it a bit first.

Anyways, good luck to them on the sale.. one of the nicest Camaros out there.

I don't get the whole build it and sell it either. I like tweaking, modifying, and upgrading as much as the next guy. However, I like to enjoy the fruits of my labor and money instead of the next guy.
On the flip side, I can see how you may think your next car would be better than the last. In Erv's case, that's going to be a tough nut to crack. Maybe he just wants out while Razor is still fresh on our minds. Besides, that car is just to nice.

I was talking to the Ring Brothers at the Racine Power Tour stop and asked them when the owner was going to take possession of the car since it seems like they have had it at shows for a year. They said that he does not want to take the car. It is possible it turned out too nice and he does not want to drive it.

I am with you guys, I just can't see spending that kind of money having a car built to that level and not wanting to enjoy it. I don't know his reasons for wanting to sell it but they must be pretty good to get rid of one of the best cars in recent history without getting some well deserved seat time. I wish him the best of luck with the sale!!

Michael.

That car is a work of art.

That car is too nice to really have fun with. I appreciate builds like that, but they're far too nice and high end for me to really enjoy, unless your idea of enjoyment is watching it in your garage and rubbing it down with Zaino. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'd be real curious to know the owners reasons for selling. It's just too nice to flog at a race track or drive across country imo. Its more of a pebble beach quality car than a driver. Though I could be wrong, I know it has seen a few autox events.

It will be interesting to see what it sells for and if it sells. Camaro X is having a hard time selling and its down to 105k...

Times are rough. Hope all is well on the owner's front, its an amazing car and build.

I agree with all of this.

For me, even if I was willing to put a $30k paint job on my car (which I was not) I would be too leary to drive it, park it, scuff it up, etc.
