Looks like someone got a great deal. Nice car.   Mecum seems like a nice Auction, although I never been there I would like to go.

[nvrbdn]

their prices always seem to be more down to earth. you can find some deals there. plus they dont have 100 people around every car.

Those guys are real dorks... many miss statements like that.... The 1st couple of days were either really cheap cars, un-restored drivers, barn finds or stormen monster deals, the quality seems to be getting better towards the weekend, too many no sales like 50% it seems like, or just sale instantly after the reserve is lifted, allot of the TV shots show not very many people/buyers in the room during allot of the sales, reserve auctions really don't seem do to well sometimes, seems to be a buyers market...

[nvrbdn]

yep, there have been shots where the people are just down on the floor. the stands were bare.

Huh... I didn't think you could get a steering wheel without at least a half horn ring?  Doesn't look like you can.  Seems such an obvious detail to get wrong when you get 130k for the car.    

[1970Moparmann]

Beautiful car!   

Mecum on Velocity is awesome!   A lot of great deals in my book.

Good catch.    That is true...what is shown is not factory (well, at least for a '68 Charger.   ) imho. Interesting also that the car has an Inland shifter, but a Fratzog medallian. I think the Inland experiment ended about the time the Fratzog Medallian replaced the Bullseye. Must be a 1 of 1.

but that is a 68 b body steering wheel right? ive seen that wheel on other 68 cars. so if its not, ive seen a few guys with the wrong wheel for 68. seems i seen it on a 68 road runner or gtx.
