Someone just lost their arse on that lime green '67 Mustang, LOTS of man hours in that one.



I'm at the shop right now so not watching but over the past several days I have seen a LOT of cars go through where the owner/builder likely lost their arse.

The one they even said what the guy had in it; $130k and it sold for $25k.

Thing is it looked like a pretty sweet ride. Just didn't have two buyers interested.

A buddy of my dad's had one back in the 60's that he did some work on. Said it had over an inch of body shims in various spots to get things to line up halfway decent.

Had never been wrecked.

Before I took that much of a hit I'd bid to win and eat the fees.

Depends on the car. Fair price for a normal one.

70's are more desirable even though the 71's are rarer.

It's killing me to see these mid 2000's Ford GT sell for $500K. They were readily available for $150K at the time.

That’s a beautiful car, but it just doesn’t do it for me.

Same owner that had the '54 survivor has a Bloomington Gold '58 Fuelie. I drove it at speed, amazing is an understatement.

I’d love to see that 54.

I drove a 58 to my last full day of senior year in high school, has a special place in my memories. I like the single headlights and simple bumpers of the 57s tho.

Since you kept up your tradition of starting this thread, let me keep up my tradition of bitching about how many people they let up on stage for this event.
