You have to remember that this car was a charity auction vehicle so the hammer price is irrelevant compared to the vehicle price. Craig Jackson apparently bought it and he'll get a tax write off for the 1.1M less the MSRP of the car. Not a bad way to avoid an ADM and get a tax writeoff at the same time

Think the 6000 I saw was 98k with 10% premium So roughly 108k which is market.

I think it’s truly a Resto mod cycle now however cars are still a passion for many and solid places for money when compared to other things.....
Also feel for replicas the "replication" is key. When weirdly done they can be a huge risk to the seller or buyer.
When a Testarosa sells at $130k and one of six GT500 struggles for $118k amongst what appears to be more 60’s corvette resto mods sold than there was produced for $250k + it’s a timing thing.

Either way I personally love these cars and will buy more.
At least what I can get momma on board with �� the expense.

Agree - one of the conclusions I drew from the Barrett Jackson auction was that a mid 60s corvette, first gen Camaro, or Mopar resto mod with a “Fast Track” or similar chassis and suspension mod seems to be the big thing right now. Those cars seemed to be getting disproportionate values, relative to some very nice looking all original cars. My take away from this is that a lot of people are looking for a car that combines an older muscle car style that they recognize, but that has been updated to a more modern standard drive train and interior (ac, stereo, etc) that allows them to drive it on a more regular basis with higher reliability. Pure hot rods and even many older all original and somewhat rare cars seemed to not do as well. Unfortunately, I think this is a trend that is going to continue, as it becomes harder to register and title some of the older cars and pure hot rods. Also, a lot of people seem to value the idea of being able to have a car that’s very drivable with convenience features versus a pure hot rod like a cobra.
