2008 CJ sold for 50k

[Charley Downing]

How much did a 1969 camaro copo or a Bo29 cuda sell for in 1972? I think these cars are an investment you just will not see a return until 2040. As far as a short term investment they are a very bad idea. Unless you were the one that payed $50,000 for the 2008 CJ. I don't see those cars ever being worth less then $50,000.

I believe that some people are just coming out from under the "ether" effect, about these cars. No titles or serial numbers that mean anything, and can you imagine the amount of "Clones" that will be around in the next few years!!

If a person wanted to make an investment that would pay off, just have them stick 50K in to gold, bonds or CD's, not only would they make you more more by 2040 (sic), its a lot safer than investing 80K in a car that can't do anything that different than a 30K car.

Yeah, I know they look cool!.....and I would love to have one, but it makes no sense to me.

If you have the money laying around its your choice, but it looks like the bottom is starting to fall out of the Hyper Hole.

Wow 2040!

How old will you be when you realize your investment ? LOL.
I know - know! A lot younger than me.

I would rather buy an original 68 cj if I was looking for an investment to appreciate.

Sounds like the SS 454" trucks when they came out in 1990. Except, they never came back up.

50k sounds like a steal to me if you want to race the car . Does anyone no what # the car was or is it in fact a clone ? . I paid 68k in June 2011 for mine but got 10k in extra parts so if it's a real CJ sold at auction price seems right . Not sure but I think they sold new for 72k so they lost 30% in 4 years . Guess that not bad since if you bought a new car and sold it in 4 year i think you would lose 60% of it's value

Maybe the new 10.30 index hurt the value , last year it was a 1-1.20 under car now it's .70 - .90 under car .

No, it is not the 60's all over again. Part of the message for these new cars was that they would appreciate in value, not perform a nose dive in value. The 60's cars will always be the kings, just like Hendrix, Joplin and the aged Stones. Anyone or anything that tries to copy these icons will always be just that. A big fat copy.

It's was not #41. We have the 41's on lock here in Oklahoma. 1968 #41 2008 #41 2010 #41 and 2012 #41

Car #40.
