It’s using an electronic paint thickness gauge/meter to measure thickness. In this context, presumably to determine that it really is original paint without any respray areas.

maybe someone found a bare spot next to a painted surface and measured the mil thickness of the paint applied ?

you are most likely correct sir ! i forgot about those gauges............

THANK YOU !!!!!

Yeah, we call them "mil gauges" - at one time they were spring-loaded & magnetic and resembled a tread-depth gauge.
Hard for me to believe that Bee was original paint - maybe it never saw sunlight ?
IIRC, they didn't say what the mil thickness was...
As far as the GM thing, GM sold many times more cars than Chrysler, so some of that is just reality.
I don't mind that there's more GM than Mopar at auctions, but I admit I FF through most Chevelles, Vettes, exotics, and of course the goofy stuff.

For FC7 to survive 50 years untouched it had to be stored indoors from day one

Back in the day purple Mopars shed their paint in large chunks. There was a 340 Duster near me that was re-painted black after just 3 years.

Thanks, amazing car - and prize.

"Look out Sheriff Lucky ! It's High Prices !" ..............KABOOOMM !!!!!! ...................."Well we sure blew the $hit out of that motherfu*er !!!"
"Come on down to New Deal Used Cars, where we blow the $hit out of High Prices !"

Nope, just makes me wish I had kept some back in the 70's when we'd buy them cheap, run the xxxx out of them, sell them even cheaper and repeat as needed.

That movie was a classic. I love the opening scene with Kurt Russel

No doubt ! My Sport Satellite sat outside in a field from 1986 (ish) until I got it in 2001 . . . the paint was "burnt" off the exposed parts of the car (hood, trunk lid, top of fenders & quarters) . . . only place paint looked like great FC7, was in trunk, or under the carpet inside the car . . .

Huge misconception by people who aren't actually seeing who is buying cars. It's not "old guys".

Hey hows it going?So your saying maybe younger people with money,wanting the cars and are willing to pay ,to me seems.... 2 to 3 times what the cars are worth?That who ever it is thinking man..I got to have that car now!I feel that way too..only difference is my wife and i dont have the money!Lol!

What did this Lot F214 Bahama Yellow A12 Road Runner with the road wheels go for?

Does this include private sales or just the auction crowd?
