This snake features a larger, 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, which has only run 8,500 miles in total. The spark plugs, belts, fan, and hoses are all original. The only items that are not from 1968 are the tires.
Wonder how they plan on getting rid of all the dust without scratching the paint up
There was a reason these things sold for $5500 when they were new…That’s all they were worth… For about the same money, the Boss 302 was a much, MUCH better driving car…
There’s a market for these basically untouched cars. Those who know how can clean off the dust and make the paint look pretty good. But in this case you want the well earned patina.
Last week on Fast 'N Loud, the guys found a 429 Boss Mustang in a barn in Minnesota(?) or some such northern state. They paid $125k in cash, took it home, paid their detailing guy to shine it up, and drove it to auction. They were hoping for $300k or so, but it went for only $150k or so.
Yeah, I don’t know why Richard doesn’t put a decent reserve on the car and keep it for another auction if it doesn’t sell. I guess he can’t afford to have his cash tied up.
At these “collector car” auctions, seems like 2/3 of the cars offered roll off the platform unsold…When the seller removes the reserve price, it seems the final selling price disappoints him…Look at the people attending these sales…In a few years, when these cars turn up at estate sales, I think they will have turned out to be poor investments…
