Only ten hours left, car auction.

Only ten hours left, car auction.

Wow, prices went up, very nice stuff here.

Court ordered liquidation. Ouch.

Sucks for the original owner, but good for the rest of us, I guess.

I always thought the most recent Continental with the suicide doors would be a cool car to have, but they don't seem to have depreciated the same way the "normal" Continental has.

Honestly, only the last ten minutes of an online auction are really relevant anyway.

for auctions where you don't get to test drive, you can't ask the previous owner questions, etc. those prices are approaching all the money...  the 21 corvette for example those seem to be trading in that 55-65 range so 63 seems like not retail but certainly all the money for an auction.  

In reply to ClearWaterMS :

Agreed.

I still want the Lincoln.

That lincoln is 1 of 80 with 4k miles.  I was going to buy it (if it was cheap) and BAT it :)  If it was super cheap I was going to let my wife drive it.  

The 69 Camaro pace car caught my attention, there was one at the end of my street that was a daily driver into the 80's.

It's a 3LT hard top convertible with a lot of paint patched options. IMHO that's a $80k car. 

In reply to Colin Wood :

I didn't know this was out there. I'm impressed.  

Way deep inside there is a 50% Italian background and some Tony Soprano in me. 

Kid I went to HS with (class of 84) had a 69 Pace Car as his DD. He drove it to our reunion a few weeks ago. He's currently got a 502 / 6MT in it.

I stand corrected; looking at BaT you're probably right, $75k plus BaT buyer fee would put it at 80k.  I saw it as, 3-4 year old non Z51 car.  and saw 3 21 convertibles sell on Cars and Bids for between 55 and 65 since September.

In reply to Datsun240ZGuy :

The "normal" Continental can be had for not a lot–like $30,000-$40,000.

If I remember most of the reviews correctly, it was a great car, but not better than much of its competition.

That said, I'd imagine that a 400-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 is more than enough to have some fun on the on-ramp.

Whomever bought that GT500 did pretty well.
