$145k for a 383, automatic, over-restored?

Must be the handy cap brake and throttle controls that put it over the top. That's crazy money

Beautiful car. This will help keep our cars price up hopefully. Was offered 60 thou. for my car. But told the guy it is NOT FOR SALE. Four speed car with added aftermarket A/C and heat. Not numbers matching. Put the bucket seats in it with console. Was a bench seat car originally.

Was this maybe a charity sale?

 

[Russ69Runner]

That could be a fact.

Nope. Good money for just about all Mopars going on the block today. They stated it was a record setting Thursday for Mecum. 69 black hemi RR for over 200k.

If that handycap conversion is original from the factory and not aftermarket, I can see how it could bring this much money. Otherwise it's way too much for an auto 383. Not complaining though mine is similar to better speced than that!

You'll need to take out a second mortgage to get into the hobby soon....crazy

Inflation hits everything try buying parts. Maybe I should sell?

Prices are crazy - black T/A $200k, pink AAR $280k and others. I guess the economy isn`t hurting some as much as others.

I don`t think hand controls were ever an option.

 

[69hemibeep]

Those hand controls are aftermarket for the disabled or little people. Maybe a famous little person owned it.

Hand controls are not that expensive. They even make one for manual transmission vehicles.
