I didn't like brussel sprouts in 1977....    I still don't like them now.     I bet they cost at least 3X what they did back then also.

But if you could make more than $6k on 34-year-old brussel sprouts you'd probably sell them, right?

This affirms a theory I developed about cars back about 10 years ago. You can put ANY car with low miles in a garage for 20-30 years and it will ALWAYS sell for a lot more than you paid for it as long as it's in decent, original condition. In this case a '77 Pacer is selling for close to three times what it cost new.

A $4000 investment untouched for 30 years at 5% would yield just shy of $18,000.    Usually I would say the car is still more fun, but I don't know about if I could say that about a Pacer.

This car has not actually sold yet. Could be a ruse, put a ridiculous reserve on it then have a group of shill bidders create a false sense of value.

This is a $5000 car, max. ...Unless of course you lost your virginity in the back seat of a blue "77 Pacer and now own a software empire.

Oh if it could only have been a '68 AMX.  

News flash: I have a microwave oven from college days in 1977. It only heated up 1 hotdog and 2 cups o' ramen. Stored away since '77. It'll be on ebay soon!.

I agree if it was a AMX or Javelin or something along those lines but a Pacer??? You went to College??...LOL...Sorry I had to do that.

I would think it's a $3,500-$4,000 car to someone with unbiased, unsentimental judgement since that's what it cost new. How do you account for the extra $1,000 of value? And seriously, who could ever lost their virginity in a Pacer?

FYI, adjusted for inflation it's actually a $14,222 car since inflation was brought up earlier. But if the investment numbers posted above are correct, a 4.4%-5% return is really pretty good on a Pacer of all things. I wonder if a Gremlin would do as well?

I give 'em a thousand dollars worth of insanity before institutionalization.
