At Hershey in October they also had an auction going on. In the evening my brother and I wander through the cars for sale and we spent some time watching the auction.
I saw a regular 68 (or 67) coupe 'sell' for $30,000. I figured this car must be something and I did not hear the specifics on the car so I was guessing big block.
Well I was looking at the cars in the tent and they were bringing the cars back in from the auction and I see the Mustang roll in. So I wander over to see why it was a $30,000 car.
Well I was not too impressed with the bodywork from a distance I could see the waves down the side and one the hood. Then I got closer and could see the pitted frames around the vent and rear windows. Then I notice it is just a 302 under the hood. It had all the standard rust repairs poorly installed.
Clearly something was amiss here and I do not know what I was missing. I have to assume someone just paid way too much for a car.
So the next time you are watching Barrett Jackson keep this in mind.
