Mecum Auction Hemi Fest

[HEMIBEE]

I find it hard to believe that car sold in 1992 for 10,000, if it did somebody was asleep at the wheel, i remember an article where Tom Shaw said he was trying to hold a straight face when they were buying it. I also find it funny that Galen can make tags for this car and its ok for some reason (take the yellow canada L-89) with the tag issues, dont get me wrong the car looks great and is a real car because of the body numbers, but it shouldn't have tags backed up by one mans opinion on FACTORY installed options,esp. when the car was 23 years old when he looked at it. I just hope that this car is presented as such, Ask Mr. Norm how many options he added to cars at the dealer to get them sold, "buyer beware"

By the way I would be more than happy to have that car back alongside my garage again. If we could just move the decimal points over to the left a couple spaces on the selling price, maybe I could afford it again.

Tell me you at least kept the Chrysler 8tk demo tape..

So are you saying the body numbers are re-stamped? Just curious because I was told they were 100% original from the factory by a few different guys including Galen Id sure would like to know if I got taken! As for the the options alot are just some crazy off the wall options, nothing to really add alot of value to the car. I dont know why it is that if Galen makes a tag its as good as gold thats just the way with the Mopars are I guess..I know alot of research was done on the car so maybe they talked to the original owner and got the scoup.. I tracked down 2 of the previous owners in just a few minutes on the net.. They still live in Florida not far from where it was sold new. Either way its documented as to having Galen made the tag and has never been advertised other wise. Again the price will reflect what the car is and most guys buying a 71' Hemi car will spend $50 to talk to Galen and get his opinion on the car.

I believe Galen tracked down all the previous owner info and titles.. There is a recipt from the state of Florida to Galen from back then so the must have had copys and the original bill of origin on file back then. The car has only had I believe 4 owners if I remember correctly.

Either the car is what it is.. It is definatley cool that the historys of these cars can be brought up and people remember them.. Steve I cant beieve you didnt jump on it especially if you had a Built Hemi just sitting there.. temptation what have definately gotten the better of my forsure. Then again the car would probably be in 2 pieces today also..lol

Im pretty sure if the car sells the new owner will be happy with what he gets for the money.
