Wow, really surprised about the Daytona!

[Aero426]

The Daytona was offered post block at 92k + buyers fee to a fellow I know, and he passed on it!    Even with the replacement block, I don't know how you go wrong.

Rare but blah color and not numbers matching...   I guess folks with $100,000. to drop are getting picky!

But Superbirds sold for more?     That makes me go

That is a puzzler....   Must be more to this story than we know, which is just what we've been told!

what's the vin on the daytona? is there some history that killed its value? i assume it has its steel front end and all, which makes the price all the more baffling.

[Budnicks]

I'd like to have any of them... even the Daytona with non matching #'s 

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Is that the car that had the questionable VIN stamping on the radiator support?

6 pack superbird, fully restored, no sale @ $100k.
Wow the wing cars are low, compared to others ($125k 70 trans am 455)
Restomods are HOT!

Hey Doug, so after it sold it could have been had for less?
Looks alright in the pics...Y2 is really starting to grow on me on Daytona's.

Evidently, we are reaching Armageddon now, a Chevy Nova goes for $190K!  Granted an L89 motor, but still.

Don't know the timeline of actual events.   I got a "should I buy it?" phone call saying, the bidding had just ended and a ring man wanted to know "do you want it at 92k?"    92k + buyers fee would seem to get you close to 100k disclosed sale.    Anyway, the guy who called me mistakenly thought he was buying the 6-pack Daytona.   Strange there are two Y2 Daytonas there. 

It's not the one with the questionable VIN stamp on the rad support.  Believe that one was an SE.

four birds cross the block on saturday, but only this one sells

[held1823]

bird #2

[held1823]

bird #3

[held1823]

saturday's final bird.

the bidding went about 25% higher here, than on the other three cars.

blondes might draw more attention than brunettes, but which is more desirable....

Thanks for posting Held.
Has the other Y2 Daytona crossed the block yet?

Wonder if the bidding would have gone higher if it occurred after the F and F6 movie came out... 

[held1823]

Has the other Y2 Daytona crossed the block yet?

sunday afternoon, along with the final bird and a c500.

[Aero426]

Be interesting how they play up the bogus McCluskey "race car" today.     They were still advertising it as such on-site.

Another Y2 daytona is on ebay .
