That gator grain T/A was sold at Mecum in Dallas a few months ago. It was part of a collection sold there that I think we discussed here.
It's always interesting to see so many cars sold at recent auctions show up at subsequent auctions.  Do the sales fall through for some reason?  Was the car someway misrepresented?  Was the car misreported as sold to make the auction seem more successful than it really was?  It strikes me as suspicious.

               I've been watching it happen for years, the high rollers flipping cars. Lots of times I see cars sold in smaller auctions show up in Kissimmee. I believe all sales are final, no turning back.

WOW four convertibles and they are all challengers!  Interesting!   :unbelievable:
Actually a 71 Cuda vert, third from the bottom.  https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0118-322089/1971-plymouth-cuda/

Yikes...that "silver" billboard looks as little out of place  :barf:

Looks more like a Pastel Gray color to me. but I agree on the.... :barf:

Just got back from Florida today. Went to the Mecum auction on Saturday and I saw this car up close and personal. In actuality, the more I looked at it in person, the more the "subdued" gray billboard grew on me. Billboards that contrast sharply with the color of the car were (are) bold, in-your-face, almost garish, design statements. The subdued gray billboards on this car don't "slap you in the face" as much as, say a white one would. It grew on me ... I kind of like it.
Cheers!

I saw this car on Saturday too. I don't know if there is any subterfuge going on with it, but it is a very attractive car through and through. I really liked the EB3 color being that there are not dozens of others in the same color. And the V1G top, to me is still unusual, and garners a certain kind of appeal just because of it being different. Without a doubt, this is a very pretty car.
Cheers!

It's usually a pretty good place to walk around and check out some cool cars.
I'm going on the 13th with my dad & my wife.

Just a note, my prices don't include the buyer premium.

My younger sister and brother-in-law went down last weekend but unfortunately bought a Mustang convertible not a Mopar.  :dunno:  They invited me to join them but as usual no money or vacation time as the company I work for just got sold.
