Some interesting reasonable stuff rolling through ....

If I had some extra coin like some here have ...

I might be a Chebby guy

That Link Twin turbo Corvette for 36k$ !

Oh my goodness!

You could not buy and restore those vehicles for what they are selling for today.

That’s a big time understatement! .... I’m no restro guy but some of that stuff couldn’t be duplicated for 4 to 5 times what they’re bringing !

Wow ... pro street Chebby ... 30k$ max bid NOT SOLD ... that’s gotta be an 80k$ build

Pro street stuff isn't a big draw any longer...restomod stuff with updated power trains and creature comforts has already taken over...

Quit spending my inheritance...

That and learn how to take a pic with your new fancy phone...just more money I won't be getting...

Now Sonny ... pro street/many restromods... same/same !

That inheritance? ... that was that loan that ur spending like a drunken sailor!

My phone an iPhone 6 ... Wally World 160$ ... I’m sure you’ve got an 11.

Peeps with apple orchards thank you ..

HaY DoC......... You KiSSaMe, i KiSsAyoU ?
since when are yOu ItAlIaN ?

Yeah that's always the problem with customized stuff vs. restored stock cars.

Fads and trends change, and yesterday's cutting edge build is tomorrow's dated looking, undervalued money pit. Custom is great if you are going to keep it forever, but everyone's taste is different and if you want to sell it not all buyers will like your personal style...

very true indeed. however, if the BUYER likes the style, it can be a GREAT buy at mere pennies on the dollar.

The street rod thing is proof of the value of timeless design over this year's fad.
A few of the ones I saw on TV were...let's just say, thoroughly unappealing.
I'm still amused by the number of Vettes that cross the block at every auction, must be 1/3 of production.
I'll probably never understand why Chevelles bring the money they do, since there's millions of 'em out there.
I was pretty surprised that '70 B5 GTX only went to 45K (IIRC) but there wasn't much info given on it.
Nice Q1 '68 Dart GTS 383/4-speed just did 50K.
I'd like the auctions to spend more time correctly describing the cars, rather than hyping themselves and their lifestyle swag.

It's a 440 4bbl auto car. I think it was overpriced at 45k.

^^^ IF it was top-shelf, I might respectfully disagree, though point taken on being an AT car...
If some areas aren't correct, or there are problems requiring significant $$ outlay to correct, maybe 30-35 is all the money.
Depends on #s, quality of restoration, etc.
That's kind of my point, not enough info to determine.

Another thing when looking at auction prices is the 10% added to hammer price for the auction house.
So, 45 plus another 4.5 and you're at least nudging top dollar for that combo, even considering how popular B5 is.
And at 50 for the GTS + 5, that's 55, which is strong for a Dart, though Rhinodart's certainly more of an expert on Darts than I am.
Ultimately, auction sales are a dartboard #, subject to buyer knowledge, actual condition, and influence by either party-time or weenie-contest

We love it!My wife enjoys it also.Wonder what the Bullitt mustang is gonna sell for tomorrow and can't wait to see the Tim Wellborn chargers and hemi gtx look like under the lights.Im sure better than they look in Mecum magazine!

oleHam2.... that’s the way that cities name is many times pronounced to non Florida folks ....

Btw ... what’s the 411 on this car ?

1st Ford GT to get past the non-resale agreement, I think.

hi , I know it's not a mopar , but the real hero in Bullitt was the 68 charger . the 2nd hero was the bullitt mustang . when is that thing going across the block ? what's your guess it's going to sell for ?

Agreed ... I myself don’t understand the HUGE interest in the Mustang.

Some ? Yes ... but THE STAR of the auction??

Me thinks 12.5 mil

About $10,000.00 If

LOL

Bullitt Mustang......I'm thinking 7 Million

7. 10, 12.5 mill ?

You three secretly living in BANJOnes’ new-found city ?

HUGE interest? Most likely because Steve McQueen's butt was in that drivers seat for a moment in history, and the fact that the car is a celluloid hero.....

Wish I could afford it. I like this one. And I am NOT a 3rd gen Charger fan by any means

For some reason I doubt it will go that high. BUT I could be wrong I guess
The #43 Petty Bird didnt break the 4mil mark. And to me that would be a pretty good comparison

15.950 usd for C-code Challenger. Reasonable price.

https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0120-395945/1970-dodge-challenger/

Yeah, that was a hell of a buy.

This one looks familiar. I think its a members car that listed for sale last year

It was then 25K(ish).

How about this one. 16.5 K

https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0120-394712/1970-dodge-challenger-rt/

is the bullitt mustang a "reserve" car ?

It's no reserve.

jsta turned it on ... anyone hear the time the Mustang is coming up ?

Ole Wellborn is DIGGING FOR GOLD

He won’t take 185k$ for that pink Charger

Bullitt mustang coming up soon there be driving it out of the glass case any minute

I hear it ... I say 650k$ foolish dollars !

They just flashed 240 pm for the Bullitt mustang

Of course it didn't start wright up but once that 390 it sounded healthy.Man they had a crowd of people all over it,it was hard making people move!

I’m going to mOdIfY my prediction... 280 !

If a super clear Boss 429 only brings 305 !!!

Is youtube working for you guys?

That boss 429 was nice but the Bullitt is a iconic movie car I wonder Chad McQueen will come out from nowhere and try and buy it!

Mustang GT Bullitt -- $3,400,000. Nice fixer upper!

Just saw it there ya go!

Man ... was I all wEt !

And MecumAuctions gets 10 points from each ?

Oh my.. x 99 ... did you see the pass side roof ?

A fool and his money are soon parted !!

christine closed at 275k

Christine fury 275,000 bid goes on

Man I have lusted for the silver 71 hemi 4 spd road runner...but at the end of bidding/bid goes on what the heck was wrong the hood? Looked like it flush closed on passenger side and passenger front but driver side and toward front was really raised/bowed, like something was under the hood in the battery area and they slammed the hood closed...hope it didn’t damage much😳

WHERES that famous Mopar movie car ?.....

The Duel ... Valiant ??!!

They need to lose the close captioning on line.

Assuming its computer generated but has no resemblance to the actual auctioneers.



Red

Tim and Pam Wellborn mopars were very cool!

What did the 71 sunroof Hemi GTX bring?

Around 320,000

I've never seen a car with it's own crowd and groupies around it continuously like the Buiiltt mustang it had a cult like following unbelievable!

I figured it would go higher than that until I saw it in person at the Somerset Cruise. Cars had a rough life, still pretty a car but rust and dents in several places.

It does it's a bit rough but alot of stunt movie time .I wouldn't restore it I'd just drive it sparingly

Bullitt Stang: Sold for $3,400,000......with buyer's fees, the total sale price was $3,740,000. I'm out LOL

Isn’t it TEN POINTS for the seller too ?

with fees buyer has to pay 374k $$

Carsten

I agree, no way I would restore it. From
Somerset.

What I find funny is the car in the auction does not match the car in the famous chase scene. There are physical differences in the damage and even the exhaust on the car Steve McQueen was driving and what was sold at the auction.

I guess the previous owner repaired some of the damage?

or some of the scenes are showing the stunt car

Did anyone catch the sales history of the car ?

A lot of people speculated that the poor sales results at Monterey where the beginning of a downward trend. Not! I think pricing at Mecum Kissimmee was very strong. A lot of ho-hum mustangs going for huge money.

Regarding fees to the seller, I bet the owner of the bullitt mustang didn't pay a dime. The auctioneers will waive the fees to get a car like that in there because it is such a big draw.

A bunch of IMPERIALS coming up on Mecum RIGHT NOW !!

The lot of FIVE Imperials ... 57 - 61 .. nice cars ... 585k$ ... bid goes on

37 thou for an 09 drag pack Challenger? Crazzy cheep.

I missed that one

HJ .. I see you lurking ... did you hear what that seller paid for the Bullitt ?

3.4M

That would buy me lunch for like forever.

There were 2 mustangs both 390 4spds with sequential serial numbers.1 was the hero close up car the one Steve's seen in close-ups and overshooting a right turn and smoking the tires and speeding off.The other was a stunt car doing the jumps on the streets of San Fransisco.The stunt car was scrapped after filming.After fiiming was finished the Bullitt mustang went to a employee of Warner brothers hence WB sticker in passenger side of front window below Njinspection sticker.The sold to a detective,then sold to the current owners father.

I haven't found anything on the Sox & Martin car, or the other vintage pro stockers. What kind of money did they bring?
