....if its from the Wellborn collection, ya can't go wrong. Gorgeous car! I would have guessed that before the sale, that maybe it would go for about 200k......

Think it's an outlier? or is it an indication of prices rising?
I've been to his collection (I have pics of that car). It's fantastic.

That’s a lot of coin for a 71. I would have thunk that kind of money for a 68,69 maybe. Even those aren’t worth that much in my mind.

Cost more than my house. 
That GTX was a rare animal indeed. I wish I had it and he had a feather up his______!! We'd both be tickled

Fantastic price for the car, but I did notice that a lot of Mopars there this year did not meet the low side of their estimate. There were some bargains there.

It will be an interesting year to watch all the auctions. We went to Barret Jackson yesterday in Scottsdale, lots of nice cars. I expect the prices to be up in this up economy. We will see.

Well, i personally am glad to see it go for that amount of $$$$$$.
I was the owner of one of the other 11 1971 Hemi GTX 4 speed cars, for 24 years before i sold it off.
I wonder what my old car would bring, these days, if it was ever put up for auction, in this modern, day and age, by the current owner.
I understand it was brought back to the condition the day it rolled off the assembly line floor, back in January 1971.
This is what it looks like today.
Although i have never seen it like this in person.
Once it left my driveway, i never laid eyes on it again.
The picture with the rallye wheels is the condition that i sold it.
I never saw this picture before now.
The professional photographer must have photo croped it with the snow, and hillside in the background.
The picture of the car itself was taken for calendars, by that man, many, many, years ago behind Ohlone College, in Fremont, California, at one of their car shows.
Boy, amazing what one can do with photo croping and a computer program, these days.
I found these photo's on the internet by GOOGLE'ING, pictures, 1971 Hemi GTX.

The fact that it belonged to Tim Wellborn makes a huge difference as well, IMO.
Folks are attracted to provenance like that.

I think it's a spectacular car with a spectacular hammering price tag. Congratulations to the new owner. Hope he joins the site. That's probably the "right" price for a car like that being that rare with those options, and being from a well known/famous Mopar Collector. I however thought it would go for a little bit more say $400,000 or anywhere between $450,000. But still a very respectable price. You know what they say about buying a car from a well known/famous car collector, the price damn near doubles.
