RE: [Chrysler300] Recognition is Ours!

My two cents. I feel that the guides are just that - guides. They don't purchase cars. Unless you see the money change hands you don't know what price was paid for the car. Auctions are some what helpful if you saw the car and know it's true condition. Do NOT believe what the reviewer writes in the magazine reviews. I believe $160k-180k is very strong price for any(non-special order) letter car convertible; unless it is a true body off #1 show car. At the BJ auction this year a very nice G Conv sold for $95k and I am aware of a private sell where a true #2 rust free California car, fully restored body on frame, brought $105k. In my humble opinion, in this market, these prices are more realistic. For what it's worth. Jay

The prices in Hagerty's value guide have always seemed somewhat inflated compared to what I see in Collector Car Market Review (http://www.collectorcarmarket.com/), which is the guide that I use. The latter seems to mirror the selling prices for cars that I watch.

The current issue (March) of Car and Driver mag has an interesting article on the classsic car market. Hagerty has developed what they call the 1950s American Classics Index. They have plotted the value of 21 classic cars that they feel are representative of the era, from 2006 to the present. Three Lettercars are included in the 21 car mix. The only Lettercar specifically shown in the article is the 300C conv. Hagerty shows its value ranging from $160 to $180, with no specs on condition. Terry McTaggart
