I was tempted at the offer

[HAFROD]

I just drove my Salon to my local gas station for fuel and a Monster Energy drink. There was a car hauling diesel rig there with some old cars on it. The guys were walking around my car when I came out of the store. First question he asked is if it's for sale. I said no. I also told him it is not a real 442. I have been asked if it's for sale at least 10 times since I started driving it. The guy said he buys and sells. I opened up the hood and trunk to show off and he offered $10,000. I said I don't really want to get rid of it right now. We talked for a bit and he said one final offer $12,000. He said he couldn't make much more on it after that so that would be it. I politely refused and said I've worked on this car for a few years and I did all the work and not selling it to someone to make more money on something I put all the time in on. Some may think that that's a good offer but you can't build this car in the good quality for $12,000. It's all brand new and the paint job alone would cost someone big money.

your car is not replaceable, it's not like a more common Monte SS or even a GP so the $12,000 offer was lowballing you....🙂

12k is about what some of these "gn owners" try and push there overated v6's for...that is still on your "must have" list yes?

People are so driven by the almighty buck, or the opportunity to make a profit on something.
You do all the work, they reap the benefits.
It's a unique ride...find another one like it.

12k? Switch those digits around and you get a typical GN price. Not meaning to hijack, but how is a GN overrated? If anything theyre JUST starting to be re-recognized.

I look for GNs a few times a week on my local craigslist and the average here is $20,000ish. I'd love to have one again but that price is out of reach for me

if you say they average out at $20,000 must mean there a few if not more to chose from, how many 78 Olds Salon factory 4 speed did you see for sale and how many of them were transformed into a 442 in showroom condition?
