Far from it. He's articulate, has years of experience, and knows what he's talking about. He doesn't embellish anything, is objective, and engaged. I respect him a lot. I also have a bunch of Cars Illustrated mags from 40 years ago. Great reading.

Whats another 100k....
Inside of that engine is nasty. Looks like it has a cracked head or blown headgasket. Still blown away by what it sold for.

Looks like the original owner ran the sh++ out of that poor car and parked it.
In the article they said they wanted to preserve the African stickers on the fenders. First thing I would have done is scrape them off.

Barrett Jackson is no better. I think it would have gone for more money there. They seem to draw dumber, richer people.

Big hoax that got hook line and sinker from publicists and marketers.
Full opinion would probably bump this into the club house. Car was actually worth about 1/8 that much. Crocodile roof was a cool feature , some Mopar extremists are overly fond of the various goofy roofs. But not to that depth. Car is obviously in the right hands now. |

Shoulda went out to mark on the west coast so we could see some humor in the Resto.
Shows you a lot of the milkem auction house. We saw the car in Detroit at AutoRama, I think I posted a pic, the girl stoped talking to us when we both said we never heard of the car.

Yes I'd watch it if Mark and crew did the resto or whatever gets done with it.
By the right hands I meant the new owner. The son sure wasn't going to spend time or money on it. |
