[DeTomaso] Skyrocketing Prices

[Al Gisby]

...can i venture to ask...why is there a general sense of animosity [not against the emails in this link, but I have seen it regularly] against the value of our cars increasing? Surely we should all be excited about being the owners of such desirable and clearly valuable machines. Without sounding too trite, it will put a halt to any excessive disfigurations and loose disregard of purity that has unfortunately kept the 'pantera on the chain' until now.Alp.s A happy new year to the community 😊

Surely the auction house estimates are higher than actual sales but still.

Their estimates are almost double what prices were this past spring/summer.

There's been quite a discussion on the appreciating values of Panteras last year.  Taking it a step further, I'm sure listers are seeing high prices of NOS parts being sold by bk*@aol.com on eBay.  



Maybe I'm the one with my head in the sand but $25 for dome light bulbs, $350 for stock door mirrors (which most people replace for better looking mirrors anyway), $1000 for two never been mounted Arriva tires, $100 for mounting brackets for stock fan motors (anybody using these other than me?) seems way high.  I'm guessing these parts would have appeal to those wanting a totally stock car (which the market seems to favor).  Maybe its the Ford boxes that the parts come in that makes them worth the money.



Seeing these auctions made me think the the value of Mike Drew's spare bedroom (otherwise known as his Detomaso warehouse) has gone through the roof.  Better increase your insurance rider Mike.
