Meanwhile a pristine numbers matching Boss 302 Mustang just hammered at $50k. Strange days.
Boss 302 Mustangs have been resurrected over the last few years like 69 Mach 1s. For years I would only see a couple of them every summer now 4 or 5 a summer. A club member had been sitting on 3 rusted 69 B2s for 15+ years they are now restored and have been sold (all under $50K). Supply and demand is starting to affect the price not to mention the older collector doesn’t want to shift anymore.
Lot 1040.2 just hammered sold @ $100,000
Nice car but I’m floored, period. Was there alchohol involved? Lol… I’m seeing MrEos… Congrat’s!
That puts the likes of this one at about a $130k value…
I was watching and was astounded! I didn’t bid here, but was going to lowball after watching some amazing cars go for little money earlier in the week. WOW! 100K!
I take pleasure in announcing that MrEos’s bid must be disqualified. He has a personal and genetic relationship with the Judge and contest sponsor. This whole thing is corrupt… and we need to drain the swamp… bigly. Although not expressly stated in the contest rules, Eos should know better.
Cougar Bill is the winner. Bill - PM me your name/address and I’ll get with WCCC next week to credit your account.
Congrats to the seller and new owner.
P.S. Wish I was in 'Zona… next year for sure.
Well done, MrEos. For a moment there, I thought you were married to the Judge…G
Surprising that the first few “bids” were so close. As time went on, the estimated hammer price went lower and lower.
I would like to give back to the “Classic Cougar Community”.
So I am donating $50 that would be the “winnings” and matching that amount for a total of $100.
Let me know where to send a check or do you want me to do the “Donate” button?
Speaking of “Donating” how about it folks?
Anybody care to match the $50? or how about a simple $5.00 to show your support for a great place & great people!
Thanks everyone!
Nicely played Bill…
WOW! Didn’t see that coming! The Donate button is the best way to handle things if that works for you. THANKS!
I saw this Boss 302 car in person, although it was solid, it was not fully detailed or correct to the highest standards. $100K was indeed strong money for the car, but I get the feeling that within the upper end of the muscle car market, many collectors are growing tired of all the Mustangs, Camaros, Chevelles etc, and are perhaps searching for something more unique. A Boss 302 Cougar certainly fits that definition.
I matched you Bill! I had a great time meeting you in Dearborn and you left quite an impression. Cheers, nice donation, and congrats! B
I about crapped my pants when I saw this car hit $100K!!! I knew nothing about the car…just looked shiny on an HD screen… After watching the other cars that got to 100+ was amazing…while as someone else mentioned, Mustang Boss’s were sliding out the door for under 50K…was disgusting!!! Shelby KR’s were all over the map… no logic WAAAAAY over detailed pickups were bringing insane money…you’d never be able to haul ass, let alone a bag of groceries or a 12 pack of beer in the damned things for fear of scratching the mirror paint jobs!!! Sunday saw bargains galore… whale bidders were gone…
What got me was a HUGE mistake by Steve Magnante about a beautiful 70 Mach1 on Friday… something to the effect of … " the 1970 trunklid has a prop rod to support the newer heavy spoiler now made of aluminum"… WHAT???..has this guy been smoking??? For such a supposed expert, I cannot believe that he no-brainered this one… Where the hell he came up with this BS is beyond me… I have never ever heard of such a rumor or report ever in almost 50 years of fiberglass reinforced “sheet molding compound” produced parts for cars!
Cheers!
Steve
