I was at the auction Thursday. I took a few pictures of the gold hemi cuda, and apologize but I find I didn't take any of the engine or the tag. There was a stunning yellow V code '71 Superbee and a Gunmetal hemi '71 hemi roadrunner parked near it that were my favorite cars there, so I was distracted from paying closer attention to the cuda!
The other hemi cuda there, an F8 '70 was really outstanding. A 15 year old Roger Gibson restoration.
The orange T/A wasn't there Thursday, so I missed it. However I did look at the FJ5 one and the B5 one. The FJ5 one sold for 79K, which shocked me. It had "hair" on it......... repro hood, lots of incorrect details under the hood. A good 10 footer, maybe a good 6 footer, but not a top example of a T/A. I can't imagine someone paying 79K+buyers premium for it.
The B5 one bid to 70K reserve not met. Guy should have taken the money and ran. Car was nice but again a marginal restoration. Had signs describing a rotisserie restoration with it. The rear wheelwells were undercoated but the undercoating was painted blue. I've seen many cars where they painted the wheelwells but didn't apply the undercoating. But painting over the undercoating, WTH?
Quantity of cool Mopars was down this year compared to previous years. Only a few cars I would like to own there.
