The poster child of an auction perfumed pig.  Nice shiny paint and not much else to like.     Repop quarter panels with extra wide wheel well lips.    Interior looked like it was dyed with no silver piping on the front or rear seats.  Dingy looking guages.  Two speed wiper under the hood.  1972 style air cleaner.  Wrong master cylinder.   Fender tag looked to be a repop.   No rub strip.   All I could see in about five minutes before it headed to the block.   Someone paid $198k all in.    For a U code car.    With a black plastic Camaro front spoiler.   Hopefully there was $75k cash in the trunk.

Great summary of why I can never bring myself to bid on something being auctioned that I haven't seen!   Gets tempting sometime, but nooo!

Ray Charles could walk up to this car and tell it was a turd.    Even the vinyl top grain was completely wrong.

What a great description in the auction summation that tells, me at least, virtually nothing about the authenticity of the details of the specific item being auctioned.

What did the Red Superbird go for?

The Tor-Red Superbird with 5400 miles sold for just over $401,500 with buyers premium added in.
