Well that's an interesting price for an FFR: $137,500
https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...OADSTER-263878
$137,500 (includes buyers commission)
I saw a post on FB about this. So I thought I would look up the auction to see what's so special about this one...

In 1573, Thomas Tusser first observed, in his work, “Five Hundreth Pointes of Good Husbandrie” that “a fool and his money are soon parted”
The admonition/observation is as true today as it was 450 years ago.

If you mean that 137,500 is a strange number the car hammered at 125,000 and the final price is +10%.
Replicas were getting stupid money. If you had a Bronco or Blazer you got stupid money. If you had a truck of almost any kind you got stupid money. Alcohol appeared to be less of a factor driving stupid this time than normal, just overall, prices were higher than expected. It was a good auction for sellers.

Hell, if someone is willing to pay that much for an FFR, I'll put the FIA race car up on Bqrret Jackson! Should fetch a quarter of a million

I am thinking the chrome plated quick jacks might be the secret ingredient that makes it worth so. |

If it had been painted beige it would have fetched $200k. |

Drove a Superformance today that is about the same car. A little darker blue. 427 with port fuel injection. Dual roll bars, only 2600-mile 2 owner car. Original owner was a dealer and engine builder, and this was his personal car. Current owner bought when the business went under in the 2008 crash. This owner put 800 miles on it in 13 years. All in the first 9 years. Needs a good detail, fluids changed except oil, and all belts and hoses checked. Needs PPF film. 65K hard to say no. |
