I dont know that we should trash the people who hold onto these cars (maybe the ones that let the cars rot in the open).

My XT Falcon 500 with XF interor, Aussie Built 351 clevo, top loader etc... was up for sale a couple of years ago for $4000. At that time I would have sold it for $4000, now I just wouldnt sell it for what people would reasonably offer. I know it sounds crazy, but I wouldnt sell it for anything under $10k. No one would pay $10k for the car (unregistered since 2002, interior stripped, needing rust repairs etc....) but what would I replace it with? What (car) can I buy for under $10k that would hold its value and still be fun to own? Add the fact that I have had it for about 12 years and I have some great memories of owning it (girls, speed - you get the idea.) And the engine in it is out of my first car so I have had the engine for nearly 14 Years. I can understand some people sitting on cars that others want to buy. My car isnt special to others, but is to me.
