This is the longest day or thread--and--where does it lead
In the years I have owned Coupes I have never seen the negativity that this particular thread has generated from Chicane--consistently having expressed sour grapes about the cars that have come up for sale and discussion of value--always twisting in the wind about pricing as some kind of special authority on the subject.
As perhaps the oldest member on this message board--a continuous Coupe owner for 37 years--been on numerous judging teams--and perhaps with the most seat time in these beauties--plus add more than a little experience in locating fine examples for other enthusiasts who have requested same of me--performed quietly and without fanfare or publishing the specifics of the transactions with a fairly large number of seemingly happy owners--consequently I'm reasonably aware of what constitutes a quality example and can reasonably estimate what a going price for quality examples are bringing here in SoCal.
Chicane--most of us on this message board are Coupe enthusiasts--In your case I truly wonder what is being gained by the consistent negative commentary, almost without exception coming from you about pricing, valuation, etc. Having carefully watched and read your posts over the past several years I really wonder what your agenda might be--are you truly a fellow enthusist or are you a troll planted in our midst to demean anyone who seems to have something going that annoys you. Whatever it may be it has certainly escaped me as I've not seen nor heard a single positive comment from your commentary corner.
C'mon what is it that drives your acid tongue. Do you really believe you are the end authority in evaluating these cars? Have you extensive hands on--seat time--or other undisclosed first hand experience with them that gives you a special belief of being some E-9 authority figure? To me it just doesn't appear so!!
Would you be good enough to disclose your credentials for us to see and then we may all be informed--this is a layng down of the gaunlet type of firm request!! Lay it out or keep your negatives to yourself--it won't be missed!!
