This sounds like Winston Grafton's stuff?
Bo
Yes, it is the Grafton family. He wants major bux for it , but it may be a good deal for you, Bo, depending on how much good NOS is involved and the conditions of the cars. He is going to have to be willing to sell at far below the actual value of the stuff to move it as a package deal, which is what he wants to do, so it may well worthwhile for someone with deep pockets, lots of storage room, and a good truck & trailer. If the cars are all in #1 or 2 cond., it would be like getting the parts inventory for nothing, but that is a big IF.
Barry'd in Studes(already)
Nope, not for me. Winston's a nice fellow and I hope it works out for him. But, trying to be realistic about this stuff. I don't think any businessman can afford to buy the stuff at the listed price (very definately high retail), haul it, store it, inventory it and hope to make any money off it. Thus the primary investment incentive is wiped out. I think JP probably has it right. Atlantic City at 3-1 odds is a much better investment!
Bo
I believe you are right. I haven't seen the cars or the parts, but if it is all really worth the $175K asking price, he will be doing well to get 75K out of it on a prepaid package deal. Someone will probably come by in a year or 3 and catch him in a selling mood and walk away with it for a ridiculously low price, and then make a killing on it. BH
