Original Black Ghost up for auction at Mecum this spring...

[DavidKFla]

Why not? 100k car brought 170k after fees. The real one goes today

Looks like the prices are softening up. Friend just put a Super Bee Widebody under contract at $5K over. Everyone was asking around $20K over for that one.

I know you were looking at one. Gt spirit that make 1:18 cars is making the purple one. Not a big fan of their resin cars over die cast but they look good. Saw when I was searching last night for new 1:18 dodges

I wanted the narrow body one. Got screwed around so much, I walked.
The new car market is still insane here. Would of made a great drag and drive car.

That's not $100K over but it is the result of credit lines and booze.

Some were screaming about how well this car would do at auction. 300k etc. It’s a sticker car. 155 hammer is even too high.
The seller after fees and costs maybe netted 130k. If he paid 15k or more in adm he lost money after taxes fees snd registration.

Especially since it's a fable anyway. The seller probably is a dealer.

I've also noticed those go-man-go Chargers are sitting where the dealers are asking $300-$500K.

I'm sure he cut a little deal on the commission to get him to lift the reserve, they do that all the time. Probably told him he would net him $950k once it was bid...

Bidding started at 500k and I didn't know it had a reserve. So I guess there was a chance he was going to take it back home

or not

or not

According to xylander mechanically it’s a mess. So that gotta get done at a minimum. In that condition you better drive the F of it! If it isn’t running like a hemi what’s the point?!

 

[drag racer]

was the buyer revealed? sorry, I've been offline all afternoon. Have to say my SWAG on the price was pretty close.

 

[Bobo]

I wasn’t too far off on my $1.2m guesstimate

Just watched the replay. Would have liked it better if it came the way the original owner ordered it. Shaker hood and no gator vinyl.

Was amazed that the Rapid Transit 440 Cuda show car sold for 2 million.
