Guys that have 40k think they can’t afford a 110k car, but they can “diy” one just as well, so they limp into something like this. Thus this will be for sale again with little or no work done to it once they figure out they should’ve borrowed the money for the done car. You will spend more on parts and paint to do it yourself than it will cost to just buy the finished car.
Cars going for lower amounts of money are way worse incrementally than the quality you find by stepping up the budget say10k per time. A 60k car isn’t double as good as a 30k car, it’s more like triple or quadruple better.
I want my fair share

The market has spoke. More than one person willing to buy it. I had offers in the high 30’s at the last minute and decided to let the auction go. It was from Minnesota and I am in California, never claimed it to be a Ca car. High bidder is a restoration shop and wired the money in less than 24 hours. This car will be stunning when done. Will it be a money maker? No of course not. No restoration is. I live how guys are stuck in the 90’s on pricing. Here is a wake up call for you. This is what they are worth now.

So rusty no shop here would touch anything that far gone.
Wonder why this shop would buy it if restos are a money looser? Maybe they are betting by the time they get it done in a few years inflation will have made it worth even more than they have in it? My bet is they have a customer with deep pockets that told them to find one and get it done.

Could be.
If you had money to burn why not just buy a clean original metal car that is already done vs a money pit that will be 75% repo metal when it's back together? If your in it for the investment it makes no sense to take the rusty car route if you can afford not to, imo. Maybe because there aren't many clean original 340, 4spd, shaker, spoilers, FE5 red cars on the market right now.

If your loaded why mess around with a 340 hardtop? Straight to the 440-6 and Hemi cars is what you do if money is no object. A 340 Convertible maybe as far as being willing to bring one back from that far gone as this one is.
I guess if you plan to drive it a lot then owning a rebuilt/restored car comprised of mostly AMD replacement sheet metal is better in case something happens to it.
For the record I would rather the car be fixed vs gone forever, I just question the amount of money that is going to be spent to save it correctly vs just buying a better one to start with.

I have to admit, I was a little under bid in the in the final value estimate. I had completely forgotten the trifecta to mopar values: Collectability, option combinations and market trends. Enjoy the cash and hope your next mopar is just as cool.

I know some Cuda collectors they want one of everything. So a 340 4 spd shaker car may just fit in their collection, as they already have the uber rare stuff?
