Thanks for posting that, I'll be very interested to see what it goes for.  It is very similar to my car...

At 50K now.
Black Jade car, those are very sexy

Ad states there is a lien on the car that would need to be paid off before title can be transferred. Doesn't say how much the lien is.....

No sale at $53K.  Zero option car (except mandatory options) originally.  Too bad it isn't still black jade with nugget gold interior IMO.

[Dumpling]

Apparently the lien is more than $53K.
Bodyshop/restoration costs?

Interesting that it was bid up to $53K though, I would have figured $40K.  I guess everything is pricier these days, or I'm just cheap

it does say its a drag pack car so thats bound to raise the price !

I've seen cars in similar condition go for 70-80k at Barrett Jackson. I'm sure that's the kind of money he was expecting.

When using Bring A Trailer I don't think people understand that they need to advertise their listing a bit. Post it around the internet on different facebook pages and such. Makes a big difference in bid outcome.

Not being the original color, especially jade black, had to hurt the bidding. Heck, it even has the numbers matching block.

Dad had a Talladega the same color. Many fond memories of riding down to the A&W for root beer floats.
