Re: [DML] Concours- was Blue Book Value

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Ten years ago neither were Mopar Hemi's.  

One of the reasons they have taken off is that people are
willing to restore the cars to as-new, original condition.

Owners of anything reserve the right to be stuck up "just
because".  They don't need a car competition for that.
And there will always be people with enough disposable
income and the will to restore a DeLorean or anything
else to whatever level they want.  You don't have to 
participate, and I don't see how letting others participate
is such an issue.  The fact that there is a Concours doesn't
necessarily mean that the cars will go up in value, but I'm
pretty sure that not having one would keep the price of
the cars depressed because it is difficult for buyers to 
know what they are buying without a standard of some
sort.
