    I wish it was a 78. I had my gramps 78 Electra Limited that was loaded. One of,if not the best car I ever drove. So smooth. His was burgundy,with matching burgundy vinyl top,and tan interior.

    I would not rely on the validity of the bid.

    Chris,
    When I spoke to Barbara at Raleigh Classics last week about the Regal, they had raised to price over the advertised estimated pricing for the car, saying it cold go as high as 16K.
    I would like to hear what Jim has to say about the bidding during the auction

    Typical—since you showd interest the price went up.

    I am here looking at the Regal. Top of rear bumper faded. A lot of trash in the paint consistent with a repaint. Overall the car has a lot of eye.

    I see the tape line on the door jamb where it was repainted.

    Sold for $14,500. 00 They said it is all original but I say a repaint sans lacquer but with trash added.

    Mark--it looked like a 3K car that had been repainted a long time ago. My guess is the factory paint went south. It was way too glossy and it had more trash in the paint than any factory job I have ever see. I would say it was painted outside of a paint booth more than 20 years ago.

    Are any of his cars bringing the estimate? I just looked through the list and see a lot of clean used cars priced like they’re collector cars. FWD Monte Carlos, for example-I can’t imagine paying more than about $2k for the nicest one on the planet. And conversion vans?

    It is all run by two car dealers and they have most of the cars in the auction. Some cars do not sell and are brought back year after year.
