Truppi-Kling LS6 RM Auction Results

[Musclecarkid]

Just heard from a friend who was at the Icons of Speed and Style Auction. T/K, Briggs Chevrolet. LS6 SS/EA Ragtop sold for $240.000. Took a million dollar loss. Wow! Jungle Jim's 69 Nova Funny Cars as a pair went for under $100K. Another huge loss.

Wow! This is gonna send ripples through the hobby. Maybe people will gain some sense finally and those that spent BIG, crazy money on rare Musclecars up to early 2008 aren't going to sleep well tonight. So much for investments! Never wanted to live in a world of million-dollar Chevelles anyway. That's insane.

Curious to see how B-J will do in Vegas next month?

IMO, the car would have done much better at a Mecum auction, where buyers understand and appreciate rare musclecars.

I was the internet bidder at up 235k and thought I was going to get the car at $230k but the the other bidder bumped it at the last second.. and I couldnt get back in fast enough. I would have went to 250k but with he commission and shipping thats all I could/wanted to pay. I felt the real money on that car is around 300k to $350k today. That car was never worth anywhere near 1 Million on its best day and when it sold at Barrett in 06' I would have guessed its real value to be around 500k to 600k at the most.

Over all I thought most of the stuff did fair money especially some of the Street Rods, The Tommy Evo Wagon, and what blew my mind was the Little Red Wagon doing 500k!! I never thought that would do over $150k.

I wasnt surprised at the Jungle Jim cars not alot of interest in Funny Cars that I see.. There neat to look at but at the end of the day they take up space and have no use IMO.

And yes selling that stuff at Mecum at the next Spring Indy sale or holding a sale in Phoenix in January when all of the other sales were going on would have produced WAY WAY bigger numbers on alot of stuff. Live and Learn

Think the Little Red Wagon was event top sale at 500K, and one of few to beat high estimate. Teague '76 streamliner being another. Mazmanian 'Vette at 225K seemed a decent deal.

Sign of the times.The prices of some of these cars had to flutter or fall sooner or later. Sucks for some, great opprotunities for others.

Wasn't the original Dodge Deora show car there? What did it sell for?
