Nice car but for 6 million dollars i would buy a whole collection of really nice (including a few hemi) cars.

I saw it live...

cool car, cool history

but $5,400,000 + + 10% fees/$540k reserve commission
(from each party buyer & consigner)
the auction co. made serious coin for a few min.'s
of promotions some photos & 5 min.'s on the block
a million eight hundred thousand, just in auction fees

RCs clutch foot isn't what it used to be! It will look great next to that 6 figure Plymouth he just bought!

His personally owned Omni GLHS was in the same auction and was estimated to go for $50,000 to $75,000. Much more affordable lol.

50-75 large for a car that's really only worth about 5 grand, tops?

It's not really the car but the man that owned it. It was also a one of one with an experimental 16v motor.
