well it is a auction and you just never know what it will bring so don't write it off. but the add is very vague. if you can do some research on it and see when it was restored, get more pictures and to check off your boxes what docs it has, it could be worth a look. that is if you want a black on black car. while they look great clean and detailed they don't stay that way for long

I'm just reading this thread for the first time. I'm helping a good friend sell his restored, matching numbers, California black plate, 1965 L79, 4-speed coupe. Silver Pearl with Silver Leather, Tilt/Telescope steering wheel, sorted and ready to go. It's in the SF Bay Area, and not officially on the market yet. CADBrian, let me know if this is interesting to you.

I agree, but not much detail available in the photos. The problem is you don’t know where the auction would’ve gone to if you throw in one more really interested bidder. All it takes is one more person who may be willing to spend $100,000 on this car, and maybe the guy who paid 80,000 would’ve paid $101,000. And then you have the buyers premium on top of that.

Neither the corona virus nor the dismal returns of the stock market has diminished my search. Still looking to buy...

it is still listed on their site, and I actually just got a COVID-19 message from them and it was one of the featured vehicles in the message. Still hope!

I skimmed the pathetic video. I wonder what kind of midyear they totally wrecked in order to come up with that dribble? Looks like a real 4 speed car, but with undercar exhaust that they wrecked. I guess sacrificing a $60k car that survived for 55 years is nothing for them in order to come up with that “epic” video. I’d like to see them make Timberlake and the director fix the damn car. What a waste. Only good thing was the girl.

Well, can’t see much wrong with the ad. The ad just says Bloomington Certified. The front plate says Gold Certified, but the certificate itself is silver. Can’t see that as being a big deal. Some things aren’t perfect like the transmission is totally wrong, won’t even be the right casting numbers. So it won’t be scored perfectly. Looks like a nice enough car to me. I like the Mecum car for $80k ($88k with buyers premium) MUCH better from the few photos and wallet perspective, but who knows how correct it was.
