5F08K748826 @ Bonhams Auction

Let's see how it ends up against the estimate of $100-125K.

This beautiful car was sold at R&S in Jan 07 for 78k, and has been listed on ebay several times since for 100k plus, but bidding never came close to that. Market has softened a tad and I doubt it will reach those levels, but a live auction context could (should) bring more than an ebay listing.

It really makes you wonder why the owner doesn't want to keep the car and enjoy it for years...

Because the current owner is a dealer?

with the 101hp six and 3-speed manual transmission – insufficient power to suck an egg

I wonder which drivetrain option is just big enough to suck an egg... How much torque does that take?

For that money you could buy 1 of each body type that can be driven and still look and run great. Heck - farting on the driver's seat of this car might lower its value slightly, unless it was done by a celebrity.

We've been watching this car for a while now. Apparently, it goes from one dealer to another dealer, and from auction to auction. Isn't it strange that dealers keep buying it instead of a person who will keep the car for more than just a few months? Considering how much dealers have to mark up the selling price with each transaction, there doesn't seem to be any mark up left on this car...

Just checked the auction site. It appears to have been a "no sale". No indication on where the bidding stalled. The dealer that owns it maybe waiting a while to get the $100K - $125K they are looking for in the current market.

No surprises here, the classic car market has been softening lately. I imagine we will continue to see it for sale for quite a while.

Here we go again...(yawn)

They've had it for about 2 years now haven't they?

The car sold for a little more than my GT convertible did, believe the hammer price was something like $68k. It sold at either Russo or Barrett, can't remember which one. The dealer probably has about $75k in it, guess they're trying to hit it big with the $50k markup.

It is a very nice car, but it will be a while before these cars hit 3 figures. Personally, I don't want to see that happen for a very long while.

For $125K you'd think they'd get the trumpets centered.

It's a beautiful kar, but it isn't perfect (though way more perfect than factory). It should be priced about 30% lower. I agree with Troy in that I hope the prices don't get that high for some time.

By the way, what is that red sticker on the heater box? Is it a repro?

RECOMMENDED TEMPLATE: Sold for final sale price by seller

BuyItNow set at bin price(also post BIN if there is one for comparison)

Do you guys think if this car could be purchased for $70,000 that

this would be a good deal for the car?

Thanks
