Actually, if the Apollo was in decent shape, a good color, and has the 350, it wouldn't make for a bad car.

Yeah the Mopar stuff might move. The Hudson might move. The Rolls and Bricklin you can just push into the nearest river. The customs are unsaleable. The 54 Olds is a good car, and the '58 Olds might sell if priced right. The Apollo is a big nothing. Does anyone even want a '75 Corvette? I guess if cheap enough.

You're right, I did a brain freeze, was thinking 'Omega', not Apollo. The Apollo would be an interesting change from all the Novas...

I guess he has a quadruple whammy facing him before he sells the whole lot for one price:
 
People with 1. that kind of money and 2. that kind of space, who also 3. happen to like his collection, and who 4. have limited knowledge of old car market to realize most of his cars aren't worth much.
 
He should eBay the whole lot. If what you're sying shifty is right, then do you think he might get $150k for the entire lot?

Wouldn't an Apollo just BE a Nova with different trim?
 
I'll admit that neither the Apollo nor anything in the 74 model year appeals to me.

Anyone with enough money to buy the whole thing would recognize that they'd have to dump, what, over half of it? Who would want to go through all that trouble? Like you say, perfect for Ebay, one at a time.

Yes, that's all it is...just something a little different. I'm not buying 74s, either, but at least it's not an outright bad car like the Omega was (we had one, it almost killed my step mother). I'd be looking at the '60s Mopars.

I just can't make the math add up to $210,000 unless there are some $1,000 hulks in there.
 
I'm also concerned that he only shows pictures of his "prizes".... Where's a picture of the maroon 66 Charger? What kind of condition is it in? Does it even have an interior? Dare I even whisper the word rust?
 
In the end, though, I just come back to wondering.... why?

It's crazy trying to sell a whole collection together for one big price. Even Harrah's didn't try that.
 
He has to sort his collection, give the primo cars to auctioneers, the drivers to eBay and the unsaleable old iron to craigslist or autotrader at distress pricing. Probably he needs to have it all appraised so he knows what he's doing and what he's got (and ain't got).

Grey market Euro-only model, period AMG bodykit, monochrome brightwork, AMG steering wheel, period wheels (BBS?), Euro velour interior...all it needs are proper Euro headlights and a Becker tape player with a Falco tape stuck in it....if I had a place to put it, I might check it out...so tempting for someone who likes these cars
