[urq] URQ values

[Gary Brown]

Yesterday I was working at the Westport, CT Concour's d'Elegance.

I stick my head outside to call my wife, and there's a guy in a nice suit drinking a glass of red wine going over my car.
(BTW,I was parked way out of sight from the attendees).

I said " you wanna buy it?" He said, "yes, do you know the owner?"

Umm...yes, I do.

The guy walks over to me, and has a Hagerty tag on his suit.

After some small talk, he asked my asking price.

$19,000. 

He said for that car, in that condition, that price is within the acceptable range, and that the value has bottomed out and is posing to climb. He said the car is "significant" and Hagerty is aware of it.
Also, he said most of the mid level collector cars took a hit in the 1987 market crash, and haven't really recovered, but in a few years, Hagerty is looking for them to rise. 

So...did we strike a deal?
Nope. He is restoring a 1984 Carrerra, but wants me to contact him with more details.

Guys- don't just go to local hot rod shows, get the to the BIG stuff! The REALLY big stuff and make yourself known!!
