[DeTomaso] Values of cars

There are enough 7000 mile bone stock cars around that there is no need to restore a Pantera to factory condition.
And yes, you will never even break even on having a car restored professionally. At $100 an hour it becomes seriously expensive quickly.

Corvettes. Pantera shops call what they do `restoration' but I can
think of fewer than a handful of Panteras that have ever been PROPERLY
restored in the traditional sense. Pantera shops instead choose to
modify cars and call it restoration, which is totally ridiculous.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing to modify a Pantera, but it's laughable
to then claim that you have restored it.
I visited Jim Demick in New Mexico yesterday. In his den (on the second
floor of the beautiful home he built himself with his own two hands) is
a fully restored, perfectly detailed 1971 Pantera engine, with every
original detail--every tag, stamp, hose, wire etc being completely
original, and restored to Pebble Beach standards. It would be nice if
there was that level of respect for at least some of our cars, but
unlike the Corvette gang, few seem to have it.
To be fair, we had just been ripping around at 130 mph in his 1971
Pantera that has a 600 hp 408 stroker. And undoubtedly that is way more
fun than creeping around slowly in a bone stock Pantera with one eye on
the water temp gauge all the time.
We then went for a drive in his bone stock, 100% numbers matching
concours `65 Corvette coupe. We drove slowly on side roads to avoid
the freeway. That was a lot of fun too, in a different way.
Apples and oranges....

rated, a buyer knows what they are getting. I don't expect to see
typical Panteras selling for $300K, but when the owner spends $100K +
on a high quality restoration, it seems like they never recover the
investment. That also hurts the shops because people are less will to
spend $s on their cars when it doesn't increase the value very much.
If the vendors and POCA got together and created something, I think it
would have a big benefit.

You can narrow down results with a check box on the left side
for 'completed items' or 'sold items', the former will include sold
listings and what non-sold cars were bid to, the distinction is
those sold have the price in bold green. The caveat with eBay is that
there are no penalties for winning and not following through with the
purchase, so you'll often see the same car sold a number of times
at different prices as yahoo's bid on anything for the shear fun of it.

John,
If the car sells on eBay the final sale price will be shown. I think
the auction disappears after 90 days.

It seems pretty clear that there is a huge difference between a car
that looks good from 10 feet, and one that is nearly perfect, and had a
lot of money spent to reach that level. I can imagine a professional
appraiser taking that into account, but seems hard for the average
buyer. I think some of the other marques have developed standards?
