I'm just looking around for a few different old Mopars to maybe upgrade to. And it seems like 80% of cars listed for sale are classic car dealers. Do they just swoop up and buy any good deal? And then double to triple the price. I guess you have to be lucky and find something local that's not on the internet.
Case in point - my car - 71 Duster w/408 stroker 4-speed, wilwood brakes, upgraded springs, sway bars, bilstein shocks
Really nice car, I spent about $35K total - rotisserie restoration also had a lot of great help from friends
Sold it to a guy in Delaware in 2018 for just a tick over $30K, he ends up selling a few months later to a "classic" dealership in Ohio for about what he paid me - $30K - they put it on their website for $50K
Sits there for about year and a half - moves to another Ohio specialty dealership - now they want $70K (I noticed they installed power steering)
Eventually it sold at the 2021 Mecum Kissimmee auction for $68K including commission - billed as a "restomod"
