Mecum Thursday, Another Duster goes for big bucks

I have never been to a big time car auction, but I bet the knowledgable buyers there sift thru the cars hard and the guys with just enough knowledge to be dangerous to themsleve spend more $$ than they should!???
For a car to sell well there, it has to be the right model, but paint be perfect and new interior, detailed engine compartment (Clean and shiny) and shiny bottom???? I always wonder just how good mechanically and driving they are??
Free car show for me in my easy chair!

A fellow car club member and friend own Restorations by Julius a long time noted Mopar restoration shop. From time to time he would get cars in customer would buy at auction. I remember one 69 yellow Road Runner that barely had functioning brakes. All kinds of little issues. It looked nice and shiny.. from a distance.

The camera and even photos hide all kinds of stuff.
