If that’s the case then no way it’s worth that. **** even in concourse condition 100% numbers matching it’s not worth that.

Folks paying to get their 15 minutes.

For years these restomods have been auctioning higher than OEM restoration for more common cars. Not that a J code Charger is common. A lot of the high $ cars are going to the Middle East. The pink T/A Challenger… $300k is going there.

Others from today; and included a couple of A-bodies.

What happened to the "thumbs down"?

(I know it's no longer a selection - I'm just sayin'.)

What happened to the "thumbs down"?

I don't recall us ever having one. However, we did have a red X, but it went away because _some_ people couldn't handle it.

The C-body cats still have the X as an option, but they are a more mature/sedate group than the B-body and A-body guys. Also, they tend to explain why they used the X, whereas it was more of a driveby shooting on FBBO & FABO.

Whatever icons remain are all grey, just like the boring cars sitting on dealership lots.
