AUCTION RESULTS

[68PK21 440.6bbl]

I think this maybe a good spot to start a picture posting thread of auction results.
These are from a past couple of weekend ago Punta Gorda FL Auction.
Only 1 real C-Body seen, rest were mostly the usual muscle car era but of Mopar interest.

I'm not e body expert, but I have a hard time believing any of those prices. Particularly the T/A.

Well it's a four speed so that's a plus, plus if it's all original unrestored low milage and I mean below 100k miles the "Try to restore one at that price" will apply Ya'Think?

The last Mecum I tried to jump watch a bit of it, but after seeing GM after GM I just gave up, but when this one popped up my curiosity got the better of me as to seeing what was going on just up North of where I live in Daytona Beach. Some the Firebirds & GTO's went for really stupid high money at Punta Gorda. Senior moment on where Punta Gorda is, I was thinking it was up by Ponte Vedra Beach south of Jacksonville, down that way in the SW part of Florida is where all the new money is, rivals Miami I hear.

I saw some Porches go for cheap money like below 10 grand, one was the little SUV I think would be in the crossover class and then the 4 door version which was very popular a decade ago, but I didn't go to the website to read up on the lot numbers so you don't know if the cars were in accident or had other issues. There were a lot of Bentleys going across the block with one nice looking one I think it was a 2008 car that went for 8 grand but I didn't pay attention to the mileage and it could be a car that needs a 20 to 30 Thousand Dollar service like the Aston Martin.
Ah the English... worse than the Italians. LOL.

I agreed because they all seemed low. Is the market dropping that fast?

No, everything is down , even Cs. We've witnessed the peak.

Could be some problems, could be a clone and they didn't say in the write up. Anything's possible.

There are enough buyers there that if that was a real numbers match 4 speed TA it would not have gone that cheap.

I noticed at cruise nights, this past season, more “for sale” signs than ever. Especially the 50s cars. Still asking big money, but with little interest. Also I have been seeing more 80s cars, like Monte Carlo SS and Olds Cutlass.

Well, hopefully at least no more '78 NYBs asking $50k.

1970 Plymouth Cuda AAR Tribute Lithia Springs, Georgia - Hemmings https://share.google/ZkXw4elPf7EGO1Rg1

Even if it's a clone that price just doesn't make sense. I know asking and getting are two different things, but the Hemmings listing is more along the lines of what I'd consider a reasonable asking price for such a car. Again, I'm not an e body expert by any stretch of the imagination, or familiar with auction proceedings. But when something seems too good to be true...

The bidders were looking at the car and they bid accordingly. Lotsa junk runs through auctions as well as a few nice cars.
