SO anyway last night was a weird one. I met a guy through one of my friends. Get to talking and turns out this guy is a pretty hardcore hotrodder. You could tell he'd done most of his learning through word-of-mouth, because he didn't seem totally informed. We got bickering about a couple of things. He tried to tell me that aluminum heads always flow better than iron, which is just flat out untrue, it doesn't matter what the material is, its the shape that influences flow. He couldn't believe it when I told him that given the heat-sinking properties of aluminum, two exact heads, aluminum and iron, the iron woudl make more power, every time. Beside the point really, we all know aluminum is a desireable material.
Anyway, I go out to my car and he looks it over, tells me that his friend used to have an 81 with the same interior, and that his wife has big money and is in need of a repica of this guys old 81 by christmas. He gave me his business card, I guess we'll see.
SO I have 3 in the motor and bought the car a couple of years ago for 4. If I was serious about selling the ride.... what should I ask for it?
Car is spotless front to back, original paint and interior, 70,000 miles. I do have a lot of sentimenal value in the car, but there's a fine line between sentiment and foolishness. It is, after all, a second gen firebird. These aren't rare cars. If somebody offers me serious, big money for it. I should take it.
Input?
