    $200K for a '71 340 4spd 'Vert?
    « on: January 30, 2005 - 09:08:33 AM »
    Good Lord!
    It's a no option "nice driver" and isn't even a real shaker car.  :gripe:
    $199,999.00 and reserve not met. 2 hour to go, any takers?
    Amazing.

    Burpin' better find that 'vert b4 I start looking.  :boxer:
    Jobsite changed from El Paso to Fort Worth, so I'm close enough to smell a decaying mopar withing a 50 mile radius.  :laughing: Just kidding Burpin', I'll help ya look tho.

    Did you notice that the auction is for a "full resto" on the car also? That said, i hear ya...lots of $$ for a small block car. And I have no idea how that would work out as far as having this guy restore it...how are you supposed to know what kind of work he does, is the $$ up front, or paid as the resto moves along, etc...? I'd take that ragtop challenger hemi clone for $67K that sold on B-J the first day over that car anyday.

    Yeah, on the link to other pictures he's even throwing in a new set of 15" rallies too.  :wasted:

    Not sure why the prices on these mopars keeps shocking me, last week when I first saw the auction it was just over $100K and I thought "wow" that's a lot of money. Perspective is everything.

    And the really scary part is....."RESERVE NOT MET"   I gotta wonder if this is for real, or a setup?

    Shill bids drove up the price.  Reserve was probably $200k, and the shill bidders knew not to reach the reserve.

    Phony. :mad:

    Wow! :puke:  That would have been a ton of money for even a 340 4 speed convert.  I could see mid $40's, but not that much! :dontknow:
