I have my nice GT500KR convertible valued at $60K for insurance and am obviously way off track. No rust, good (not great) paint, new overhauled engine, trans. Nice interior, etc. etc. Needs emissions for original look. Don’t want to sell, cause I drive it and have lot’s of fun, but in this market it may be worth over $100K. Unbelievable. So when will the bubble burst……….. This can’t stay at that level. Just amazed, maybe all of you are used to this being in the business of buying and selling, but wow…… Dan, I'm in the same boat- underinsured on both of my Shelby Mustangs (moving to fix that, though...) and more than a little stunned at what's happened to these cars' values in the last few years. I don't want to sell either, because, like you, I drive all of my cars. That said, you have to look at more than Shelby values, and, when one considers the more rare Mopar's, are we really all that out of line? Now, if I could only get the market to feel that way about my '56 Mark II and my '66 Lincoln convertible, I might actually think that the collector world is a rational market... Naah!
