it gets me mad. i know everybody's got a right to make some cash but there are so many of us that would cherish a car like this . then this guy gets it for a good price , $77000  and all he can see is cash . instead of what it is. NASCAR HISTORY!  this is the car from the rm auction.   :RantExplode:

OK I'm done

I won't be wronged, I wont be Insulted and I wont be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to others, and I require the same from them.

Heck I would drive it like that.  Just me.  A bit o'nostalgia. O0 :apimp: O0

I do agree with buying and selling but I guess. If I had the $$ I should've bought it at auction. :shruggy:

So what's the problem? Bidding is at $60k right now and there's no guarantee that it will pass the break even point of $80k+ ($77k + buyer's fees). Someone who *really* wanted it could have outbid him at the previous auction. :shruggy:

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

And if it's a dealer who bought it, that is kind of how they make their money.
I tend to view flippers more as the type who prey on somebodys good nature through deception in order to score a cheap car.  :shruggy: :Twocents:

TAKE IT EAST JUGHEAD !!!!!!! JUST GO BACK TO WORK ON YOUR RAT-ROD !!! :icon_smile_big:

I agree. I don't see how someone would even think that a cloned wing car would ever be worth more than a legit one. So for someone to knock this car for a $77K price is just crazy. Definately worth that much. Legit Superbird. Legit 6 pac car at that. I don't personally like flippers, but that is just my opinion. Buy a car or build a car because its what you like, not with $$$$$ in your eyes.

daytonalo

Two years a go it was a different market . I have a line on a few out of state mopars , 70 plum crazy Challenger , 69 or 70 GTX and some other . I will flip them and laugh all the way to Bank . It is called , paying the bills !!!!!!or live in Trailer

5 months ago it was a different market. Has nothing to do with paying bills, has everything to do with loving the cars for what they are. And they aren't $$$$$$signs, they are hunks of metal that was molded in a shape that people love, or at least some of us do.

hotrod98

There are two types of car people.
Those who love the car for what it is and those who love the car for what it's worth...period.

I agree 100%. I love the aero cars because of what they are. I could care less if their value tanks, and I'm left holding a Charger 500 that is only worth $5. Didn't buy it as an investment, don't consider it an investment. Don't care if I take a huge loss on the car over the next 35 years. One thing is for certain though, I do love these cars.

hotrod98

People think that I'm crazy for owning so many cars. I can't help it. These cars are like friends to me. I care about them and they depend on me.  ;D

very cool that it's a vit c/white car.  damn cool the way it is, too, especially since there are pics in this livery from 30 years ago.

daytonalo

They are really just a hunk of metal , nothing more , nothing less !!!!

Ah Oh...........  I guess I'm bad news since I found that v-code '70 Cuda for $1350 and sold it a month later in order to buy a v-code '70 Charger R/T just like the one I owned 20 years ago.. I've had Dana and the '68 for a very long time... So, I guess I fall into both categories?

It's a "NASCAR Street Classics" plaque.   Winged Warriors adopted that name for a short period of time (about 1980) to accomodate the non-wing aero cars.   They reverted back to the original name when a ceast and desist letter from NASCAR arrived.    Too bad as it was a pretty good club name.   NASCAR was trademark protective, even back then.

tsk tsk for no one knowing that, too  ;)

The market is so down that I doubt flipping will bring big bucks like it used to.   This one may sell since it's a six pack.  I'd be lucky to break even if I were to sell my Superbird.   But that's ok, I'm not in it for the money.   All  my cars are money pits but what the hey, they're fun to drive, work on and keep running.
