Look on the bright side, fellas. If this is a true indication on where the market maybe headed, we're gonna make a killing when we sell our Mustangs!

This is crazy. Im in Scottsdale, and just missed being on the property for these crossing the block. Makes zero sense. I was TOTALLY not surprised that I got an e-mail last night, bragging about world record sales.

Ya, buddy of mine just happened to be out there for work meeting, caught them after they had already sold, took a few pics. He said pretty much what most of us are thinking, probably only brought that kind of cash because Dennis had them. I don't think it's any indicator of what the market really is. This is nothing new for BJ auctions.

You mean I shouldn't put my beloved Cobra on the market with an asking price of $40K and expect a quick sale?!? ;)

Well I guess these things didnt sell for what they brought across the block. Looks like it was all smoke and mirrors for TV imagine that. The first of these SOLD world record car just popped up on Ebay for sale at Gas Monkey. How stupid do they think people are?

What a surprise! Guess most Fox bodies should just be driven and enjoyed. As for an investment, I should have bought a Buick GNX in the early 90s.

I have a funny story about that. My buddies dad was buying a new car in 87 and drove a new GNX home that the dealer had. He couldnt bring himself to buy it because it was a 6cyld turbo and he was scared of the turbo tearing up. Instead he went the same day and bought a new 87 Cougar XR7 5.0 that he has to this day with 8k miles on it. He asked me a while back what it was worth I told him maybe 10k and told him the GNX 100k and that he made a 90k mistake.

You win some, you lose some. Although that loss is a tough one! Hope he's enjoying that Cougar! :drive:
