Monetary value .... No!
Bragging rights .... Maybe ...

Depends on the meaning of "value". If it's a famous feature vehicle like Scott Sullivan's Cheez Whiz 55 Chevy or Dobbertin's Nova, then I believe it would be more of a value at resale. Even a project car like the Crusher Camaro would be worth more at resale. Those car would always carry the previous owners name, regardless of the current caretaker. But a car I built myself, the way I wanted would be worth more in sheer fun and satisfaction.Leave a comment:

Does a car that has been a magazine have more value to you?
I see this all the time. People selling their rod, muscle car, or whatever and they have the mag with their car in it. Whether it be a feature article, or just some candid shot from a show or a cruise.
Does this make it more valuable to you? Would pay extra for the car just because it's had mag coverage? It could be just some random pics, or be as popular as Dobbertin's Pro Stree car having multiple mag coverage?
Personally, I just think it's an interesting footnote on the car's life, but I won't give a dollar more for a car because of it. My own Impala has been in multiple mags. I don't think that makes it work more. It sure doesn't elevate it above POS status.
What are your guys/gals thoughts?
