Yeah, selling but $156,750 for a 383 Road Runner? The price of clapped out B bodies just went up overnight.

There was an orange Challenger, burnt orange interior, yellow rump stripe, black vinyl top, black wheels & poverty caps... Episode 4, I think. Weirdest color combo I've ever seen ! Everyone is putting those stupid fugly dog dish hubcaps on every freaking Mopar these days! They look like sh*t! They should have left the rallye wheels that were on the car on it!

The blue Superbird was a deal,! If you,LOOK at the car it is an older resto. Interior turning yellow, wrong pieces underhood. And that’s from looking close at the photos. In person it must have had more wrong. But a way to get in a car for less money.

I can’t recall exactly, but I think I sold about 600 Bees and about 250 Rapid Transit signs. If only I’d priced them that high, I’d be sitting on about 18 million. Time to sell the tooling.😂😂😂 Floyd - I should have bought one of these from you at the Gnats many years ago!!! SET UP AGAIN & RUN THEM! One of my good friends has one of the ORIGINAL showroom wall Bees.

I recall Floyd's signs selling for $375.00 about 20 years (+/-) at the Nats. They were much smaller size than the original signs, but very nice quality - nicer than the originals.

The Bees started out at $200 and the RTS at $225. Later runs of Bees were $250. As a last hurrah, I put together about 20 Bees and 5-7 RTS signs using left over parts and seconds. The price went up as they dwindled (the money went to a good cause - my 2-post lift😀). I would guess non-insane going rate bounces between several hundred to $1000. IF...you decide to make another run. Im in for one..maybe both.

$395k for a white 63 split…not even a tanker. $1,000,000 for a Judge vert in coral yellow…….1 million. The 1970 Ram Air IV GTO Judge Vert, if it is restored correctly, looks to be a great car. I can think of other things I'd do with $ 1.1, but for someone with money nice something to have. Hemi Superbirds at $517 to $ 742. Kind of back to earth. Lemon Twist Hemi Superbird at $ 517, I can think of lots of things I'd rather have. The Big Willie Daytona at $ 247.5, reinforces what a bad move it was to restore it that way IMHO.

Haven't watched that episode yet, but I'm thinking that's the "David Spade Daytona". Wellborn may have owned it at one time, IIRC, and I may have seen it long ago in SoCal if Otis Chandler (LA Times) also owned it. That would be Small World Syndrome, but it's happened before... yes it’s that car. Said to be the lowest mileage original Daytona known to exist.

When I bought my first Charger in 1980 nobody wanted these cars,and often people gave me sh*t for wasting my time and money on those old Dodges! Wingcars were always just out of reach of my budget! Now they are out of reach of evryones budget! lol! I tried to get a loan to buy an orange 440 4 speed Superbird from a local body shop/used car dealership,and the loan officer from the bank looked at the car and denied my loan application,saying that old Plymouth isn't nor ever will be worth $4000,00! I hope he was watching last night and choked to death on a cocktail wiener! It's great for the hobby that they turned out to be collectible.and desirable,but sometimes I really miss the days when I used to buy running driving second generation Chargers for $75.00!

When I saw it at the York meet, I thought it was hideous. I never looked to see what the mileage was. My buddy Louie & I had driven all night trailering this R/T SE Hemi.
