Whew.....that's a relief!  The bidders are much smarter than I thought.  I predicted a sale of over $100K.  Good Job Scottsdale!  :2thumbs:  

By the way, I hope Keopell lost his ass on it  :moon:  so other sellers stop fooling the public on this stuff.

Was it televised?  :shruggy:


We Scottsdale maybe considered rich but we aint dumb either....your welcome

If you go to barrett-jackson.com and click on "watch live" and back up to 3:46.40, you can watch the car and hear the announcers  :Twocents:

Thanks.  I found the video here....  http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Live/Streaming/Video

I brought up the live stream and have wifey recorded it on her phone....primitive I know, but it worked fairly well. :icon_smile_wink:

Check out this video on YouTube:

Don't you love it when the announcer introduces this car as a  "440 six pack when it left the factory"...and "rare V-code factory air car"... :eek2:

By the way you can hear my kids laughing in the background - - even they think its funny!  :smilielol: :smilielol:

it was a very uneventful lot - I wonder if it actually "SOLD"?

Good question.  :shruggy:  Your guess is as good as mine, but I think the dude bought his car back....

Tuffy, you need to attend Scottsdale.  

My buddy Tom took 5 cars down again & consigned another couple buddies rigs.
Tom's cars are as nice if not nicer than the ones selling Friday & Saturday but he likes the Wed. & Thurs. time slots.  He refuses to pay more for "better" time slots since he feels his cars will sell on their own...and they almost always do.  He's not a "typical" flipper.  He'll go through every rig he buys & is not afraid to spend on any issues a rig may have.

I told Tom about this car & to let the NW collectors/dealers there know about it.  He told me he hadn't even seen it yet.  
I'm sure 8WHEELER being there helped spread the word as well.  And those of you that know Dan know he's quiet & not easy to approach.   :ohhthesarcasm:   :smilielol:

Not very many people are going to spend $100k+ on a car they don't know anything about.  I'm sure the people bidding on it, knew that combo wasn't available factory, and bid on it for what it actually was: a nicely restored 70 Charger non numbers matching 440 custom.

At least it had a nice looking red dress standing beside it

That's awesome 472 and thanks to Dan for helping to get the word out....  :2thumbs:  I really hate to see good people (unknowingly) get burned on this stuff.

Not sure I fully get that?  In the case of that Daytona (hijacking a bit) I think our guys were being pretty realistic about the cars value.  In the end they found a buyer with endless, huge-ass deep pockets willing to overspend.  :Twocents:   But at least it was "real car" being sold.   :patriot:  

This Charger was as fake as a three dollar bill.

The announcer also said it has all original sheetmetal with the exception of a trunk floor repair.  :scratchchin:

The introductions are very comical.  65k plus BP is on the high side for a 70 r/t non matching drivetrain.  But just think how much it would cost to buy a car and to restore it completely.

Had to watch the video twice I was too mesmerized by the beauty in the RED DRESS!!

Just using the word "original" in the same sentence with this car should be against the law.  :D

:drool5: :drool5: :drool5:  Dude I agree that red dress was fetching...  :icon_smile_tongue:   "fetching" at least $20k on the price of that Charger!  :icon_smile_big:

Btw I really like the tight butt and mermaid bottom of that dress....oye veye! :devil:

You might be shocked then to find out just how many people are in fact perfectly willing to spend unbelievable sums on cars they know nothing about.  If the paint is shiny and the announcer says it cool...
