A53 car a Barrett-Jackson tomorrow

Rhinodart knows A-bodies and particularly 383 A-bodies very well. He is at Barrett Jackson and looked at this TX9 383-S in person.

So this is what he has to say about the car:

...There is a 69 Dart GTS 340 convertible and a 69 383 Barracuda there "restored" by the same guy out of the northwest, all I can say is WOW! He really knows nothing about these cars. He even had a 67 383 A-Body radiator in the 340 vert and engines the wrong color, many other things just backasswards. I am sure they will sell for good money to idiots who have no idea.

Soooo....

The car is even worse in person. Just because some idiot possibly* bought this piece of junk for $55K, it does not mean you could sell a much nicer 69 383-S for that money.

*possibly: Because the owner could have bought this car back. So then he could advertise it as "selling" for $55K and taking a discount at $45K for a car really only worth $25K. That would net a $10K extra mony over market price including the $10K buyers and sellers fees.
