Mecum 71 GTX

[Mike67]

Watching Mecum and was shocked to see a 71 440/6pk GTX go through for $90k! Not trying to offend anyone but but I thought the 69/70s were better looking and only brought around $60k. I might have missed something as I had just changed the channel and the bidding had already started.
They ran another 71 Hemi 4spd Trip black that brought in $192k. They said there were only 11 Hemi 4 spds made, the trip black was a 1of 1 known to exist so I get that.

I personally prefer the 71 over the 68-69.

I've always thought they had one of the best looking grills, I just don't care for the shape of the B pillar back.

I like the '72's better. Nicer rear bumper and side marker lights. Looks cleaner than the '71's. JMO. Had a couple '72's way back when they were cheap used cars!

That car belonged to a friend of mine. He was very disappointed in the results on it. Of the 4 he sold he said total wise he broke even.

Did he say what he was expecting those to fetch?

After seeing that it would be nice to still have it wouldn't it?

I think he was expecting 150-160 out of the GTX. It was said that the purple T/A Challenger saved the day, because it brought about 50K more than expected. The Challenger was his least favorite. The 71 6-pack RR and GTO sold as expected.

It sold for $192,000, how much of that does he get?

Interesting... There aren't many cars that really interest me after 70 so I don't follow the trends. The red GTX just shocked me at $90k. They were outstanding looking cars for what they were., just not my cup of tea so to speak.
Thanks Jerry!

Actually me either, my addiction is 67 GTX's and Satellites. I had a 72 RR/GTX auto air grabber car that I couldn't get into so I sold it before restoration. Other than 66-67's, I collect just the ones that appeal to me, like the 68 A&B body Dodges, 62 Dodge, Superbird, etc.

Deduct 10%, ofcourse Mecum picked them up and transported them plus the entry fees.

No wonder Mecum is so successful!!
