I'm shipping mine from Hawaii to Texas and the shipping agent will only insure blue book value or $20k....I'm scared that it won't make it to Texas. Blue book is like $5-15k or something like that....That's an FE 428 PI in my sig, coil over suspension, 5 speed, daily driver passes car inspection in Hawaii etc car...Probably a $30-35k car easy but I spent over 45-50k on it over the past nine years (don't tell my wife omg). Maybe when I see it on Ebay in a few months I will be able to buy it back.

You'll have to wait for another recession in the USA and hope that they don't make another movie that features a fastback as the main attraction for the prices to go down. The prices for them dipped in 2008-09 era but they have slowly started climbing back up. You could get a nice running one for 10-15k. Now everyone thinks that their barn find rust bucket is worth $10k+.

The people on this forum know well, that you can easily put 30-40k into a rust bucket and have it only worth 20-25k. Let alone if it's a coupe, no matter how perfect you get it, it's still only going to bring 8-10k for a good one and 15-18k for an exceptionally done coupe. I shopped for a year and a half before I found my little green dragon. Its part you get what you pay for and part chance...well...really more chance, especially if you can't see the car in person. The bad thing is, if you see a car and don't buy it for 40k, some else will.....
