I watched that yellow Boss in Indiana on Ebay and the final bid was $28,100. After the listing ended, it said he lowered the reserve to $28,101
I’m thinking it could be bought for less than that. Decent running driving Boss cat for 28k, especially considering that Comp Green boss cat got to 31k on Ebay not too long ago and that needed a complete resto

And the vin is 0F91G510966, it can be seen in the pic of the documentation

Thanks for the info, Sean!

This one used to belong to Scott Gregory. Now on eBay;

'69 w / 428cj (R-code), auto. Originally bright blue with blue interior, currently comp blue with black interior. Marti Report. In WA for $64,888

**I just caught that this is a completely different car…

'69 w / 428cj (R-code), auto. bright blue metallic with black interior. Marti Report. In WA for $59,888
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=171190171995&ssPageName=ADME:X:PROI:US:3160
http://www.catsexotics.com/web/vehicle_photos/1473666/
VIN: 9F91R573612

This one was at Mecum auction not long ago where it sold for $31k. It has a replacement engine.
When I took a closer look at this one my first thought was that they had resprayed Scott’s car back to metallic blue!

6

Mike this is very nice car, but I wonder what the incorrect exterior and interior color does to its value?
Does it have 69 marker lights in the front and 70 in the rear?

7

It has 1970 side marker lights on all 4 corners.

Wasn’t Scott asking $20k less than the current Buy it now price? Does anyone know if the car has been improved, or is this just another person trying to flip it for profit?

Cats Exotics apparently has a thing for '69 R-code Eliminators.

'69 w / 428cj (R-code), auto. bright blue metallic with black interior (originally blue int). Marti Report. In WA for $59,888

*I corrected the info in my posting above.

Yeah, when Scott was listing it on eBay it was bidding around mid 30’s. It looks like it has acquired stripes to the hood and scoop since Scott owned it, but not sure of any other “improvements”. I think it is just being kicked around between dealers right now.
