Mecum Results

I was just looking at today's results, and surprised to see that neither of Tony's E body convertibles sold today, or even bid especially high.  His 2 wing cars brought big bucks though!

What were the two convertibles?  I saw the one 340 4 speed bid up to 80k.

 His orange cuda vert bid to 80K, but his survivor F8 Challenger R/T 383 4 speed only bid to 60K.

On Epay for $100k now, it will probably sell. 1971 R/T.

I found these numbers surprising too....I can see the Challenger not being a very appealing car to the average buyer because of the colours and old worn out survivor look....but the Cuda ? That's about as cool as they come

Imagine what the original "Vanishing Point" Challengers would bring at auction......but they were all sold for scrap.

BTW where is the original Vanishing Point car?

From what have read; Chrysler sold off the cars from the 1971 movie for scrap at a salvage auction in Los Angeles in 1971
The five cars from the 1997 remake have been saved and owned by Ted Stevens

I looked at both cars pretty good.

I would love to have a 70 Cuda 340 4 Speed Convertible.
The car looked great in that color.
Upon a closer look the car had paint issues and had a lot of work on the quarters and other issues.



The Challenger was a survivor so was a little tired looking and did have rust on lower parts of the car and I did see where the car may
have had some paint work. A few other minor issues. Color may have held it back too.
Personally I like cars like this.

I think both cars bid to about what they were worth in todays market.
I would like to own either of them, just not at the price the seller wanted for them.

Of course just my opinion.
