Dick Harrell #11 on ebay

[81DaytonaPaceCar]

Exactly, this car was built to be special, and in 20 years (give or take) the collectability will be high. I think it is a bit much right now, but relatively speaking demand is fairly low (people are wanting them to be worth what a first gen yenko is, and they aren't to that point yet in my opinion)

This will be interesting to watch going forward. They were all built to be special, but cars have taken on a different meaning today than 40 years ago.

The first gen Yenko cars are survivor cars...they buried as many as they saved today. The GMMG cars are (mostly) put away and pampered. Every one will be (and has been) tracked and accounted for.

Different animals. Different uses. Different pedigrees.

GMMG cars were made for Berger, Black, Earnhardt, and several more I'm sure I'm leaving out.

Yenko was Yenko.

Baldwin was Baldwin.

Nickey was Nickey.

Berger was Berger.

Until somebody like Berger starts making it's OWN cars again independant of someone else doing the job for them, ah, GMMG just doesn't hold the appeal that an original car does.

Expensive cookie cutter cars just mass marketed for profit.

Extremely nice cars, but incomparable to the originals, if for nothing else of having the guts to do it themselves simply for the sake of performance.

As for collectibility, did they build enough Harrell cars for it to be collectable? Are we looking at something comparable to the Meacham Turbo Camaros of the early 80s? What did they make, 10, 15 at most? Are they $150,000 cars?

Nope.

It will be interesting to watch, that's for sure.

The 80's turbo cars were low performance gaudy looking vehicles that were way overpriced and not real reliable. The DH cars are better built and have some nice content to them. There were only 30 made(I think that was the final total). I'd love a DH but it's most likely not happening in this lifetime!

True, but to compare apples to apples, the Meacham cars were cutting edge for their time, and they represented the period for styling.

I think a 81 Meacham Turbo Camaro sold for somewhere around $20,000, which was almost Ferrari money back then.

A Phase III Harrell car for $125,000 is comparable today, and represents the styling period "of this time".

How will history reflect on the GMMG cars 20, 30 years from now?

How many people will even remember a Harrell car with only 30 made?

Let me rephrase...how many people NOT affiliated with Berger will remember these cars with only 30 made?

Time will tell...

Maybe I'm just a prick that doesn't know the cars history but IMHO I think its ugly and I'd much rather have a womped out LT1 Camaro with an SS hood, some TTII's, and small turbo setup.....

Ugly?!?!? Have you SEEN the widebody in person??? It's AWESOME!!!

[WMCCjames]

It's BAMF for sure.

I think take that car to Scottsdale in 20 years and you'll get a huge response

Heck, take it next year! Look how much that low option phase 1 ZL1 went for this year. Cant remember the price, but they made money on it.

The widebody is definately tough...it's one of those designs that I wish all Camaros would have had from the start...it just seems like a logical marriage...
