71 duster at mecum

[SLOPAR72]

I went to the Mecum website and there was no info on the car that it was sold or not on the block yet... Any info?

I think it's on the block tomorrow.

I think it's on the block tomorrow.

The 72 H code went for 36 so maybe I am off my rocker and they will sell it for some crazy number. People are definitely spending money there right now...

Lot 231.1..they are currently at 114 @ 1:00 PM

Kissimmee seems to attract higher rollers than some of the other auctions. I think it will hit $60,000 and stall there and the buyer won't lift the reserve because he's drinking the cool aid that Mecum is selling. 80 to 100 grand

Why would you not post a photo of the tag unless you were hoping to prey on an unsuspecting buyer? Shady selling practice to say the least.

If that pile nabs 60K that Duster you had was worth 100K.

I cringe for our future lol.....

Based on what you guys have said and I have seen my car just went up substantially in value. You would have never convinced that car could pull down that much money...

[dmoore]

Did you see what it brought??

 

[dmoore]

I did not

 

[SLOPAR72]

Did you see what it brought??

71,500.

 

[dmoore]

71,500.

Shaking my head...in person, phone or Internet?

Don't know. As said your car was 100K. You guys and Moparts also this car is a piece mill. Someone got popped good lol..... Add it up and that 80K as Mecum predicted.

I have now signed up to sell all my Mopars at the next Mecum!!!!! LOL
I loved it when the whatever car? it was stalled about $145,000 and it sat there for like forever. Finally the fat Mecom dudegot the seller to remove the reserve, then it went...point is the auctioneer know he was right near that reserve and he was going to sit here till someone moved, the seller or a bidder! IT was quite a while.
All is good with me. Maybe it is Biden inflation!? LOL
There are some really shiny cars there. All of them. I wonder just how much Bondo and how many gal. of clear?? Prices of 1/2 t. 60s, 70s Chevy pickups. Ya gotta be pulling my leg. Yes they are slick, but really?

Frank Mecum, Dana's son. To me it makes the company look cheesy/greedy.

Nothing better than a 340 Duster! Everybody loves them and a 4-speed too

 

[AlaskaJeff]

Sad, it's been a dust collecting show piece for 20+ years, and will probably continue to be neglected by the new owner. It should be driven and enjoyed!! Ah, well to each his own. I'll be happy with my clapped out driver every time I take it out.

 

[big lefty]

WOW! I'm ready to sell! Numbers matching, Stripe delete and a REEL AO1 option car (the 340 Wedge Hood Decal came with the AO1 Light Package).

 

[K.O. SWINGER]

I don't know man I loveA bodies as much as the next guy probably more, but I got to wonder if there's not some hinky business going on ? 71,000 you should be able to get two of them for that price

 

[340wedge]

I wonder if this is a record for a "stock" Duster.

 

[4spdragtop]

I was watching the cool stretch of Es and Bs go thru. I dont think the commentators mentioned "matching drivetrain " in any of them?
