mrbass Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I need some education and opinion on buying a 2007 Shelby Gt 500 Super Snake 850 H.P.converstion . The car (built last year with 75 miles on it ) it now has 3000 easy miles and the owner is a relative of mine. I have colected 1969 z28's for years and was looking to add another classic collectable to my garage. Because of the economy I have been offered this car for arround $50k . I know that is a great deal but how collectable will thee car be in the future and will it be a depreciating asset I have plenty of those and really don't want anymore . Your opinion and input would be greatly appeciated . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion and input would be greatly appeciated . If I could answer that question I would have millions in my pocket from winning the lottery over and over. My opinion is if you want a car to drive and have fun with buy it. If you're looking for something to sell years from now for a profit it's a gamble. I know I'll be dead long before my Shelby will be worth much more than I paid.... maybe my kids will get rich off it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Alibi 2 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Price seems reasonable, based on the miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsnake Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Buy it, drive it and enjoy it without worrying about what it will be worth in 40 years and you will be much happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 You never know what any car will be worth in the future, I can remember when the collector car market fell off and then it picked up again, buy the car for now and enjoy it, who knows what the future holds. I had a 1965 GTO, a 1967 GT500, a 1956 T-Bird and a 1968 Dodge GTS and had a great time with them all. Today if I had them they would all sell for a lot more than I paid for them but I did not buy them to collect but to enjoy. So have a good time with the car thats what counts in life. As far as the price of that GT500 super snake it seems fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Welcome to the site. As I've stated on here before, I love the 67-69 Camaros.....other years too. 1. Make sure this is a real GT500 SuperSnake by checking with our registrar. 2. What color is this and what are the options? 3. I think that the GT500 SuperSnake will be a very collectible model in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandy09 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 That's a horrible price. I'd run for the hills on that deal... By th way what's his info and a good number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvups1 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Honestly, it sounds too cheap. If this is a legit deal, then I personally think you could buy it , enjoy driving it, and sell it for the same money or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2009droptopshelby Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Sounds like a great price. Try checking EBay for comps. I'm sure you know what he has in the car $$$ Crystal ball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
