Does a car that has been a magazine have more value to you?

[91CCFirebird]

I bet that is right - in your case being an editor's car, the question probably starts out as "It still runs?" cuz they beat the hell out of them.

right now the answer would be no....hope to remedy that soon, finally got plugs, wires and one side header dings completed to keep from smoking the wires on the headers, other side is on deck to get heated and slightly compressed

It doesn't make it worth more but it is a good conversation starter

So y'all are saying that the Cheap Thrills Dart is not worth a penny more that any other ragged out dart?

Apparently that's what Freiburger thinks or it would be his again.

oh lordy, yes! Have it all printed up on a big sheet of plywood and then decorate the car with little girl's dolls and lawn chairs it will need for it's new show circuit celebrity trailer queen career. Worst case scenario, fill it with oil and gas and see if it will start. I guess that is a "no" from me.

My junk would be worth more if it was running, much less in a magazine.

[BigBlockMopar]

No, but the magazine itself has more value to me if my car has been in there... :o)

Nice sleeper. I swapped a 455 into my brothers 75 Skylark.

If I get my hands on a "show car"....it WILL BE DRIVEN...HARD!
Not much chance in that happening...
Cars..firstly need to be driven!
Then they can be "pretty"...

I don't think that has much value even to the people who own the car while it's going in the magazine. The reason I stopped writing for CHR magazine while I lived in Ottawa is because so many car owners couldn't be bothered to wash their car and meet you somewhere interesting. I even had one guy near Winnipeg who wouldn't drive his car more than half a block from his house because "I washed the diff. cover, and I don't want to polish it again before the other car show a month away." Needless to say his car didn't make it in.
