Kind of. You'd have to be a big Reggie fan though, considering the car was built by his nephew as a tribute to him. Kind of strange, but WTF.... http://www.blackhorsegarage.com/cars...ckson-tribute/ |

Really nice car, and low $50's wouldn't be a bad price, but I would have to see the "Yankee blue" in person and the 44's would have to go immediately. On the other hand, I'd rather have the aluminum bodied Kirkham at around the $60K figure. |

I've seen the car, met Mark (really nice guy), lusted after it for years(he started at 100K+ several years ago), but he is still playing off the "Reggie Jackson" sales pitch to add value to the car, when in fact RJ has(had) nothing to do with the car at all. It's just his nephew who is selling it, to me all I can say is "big deal". Of course they do not mention the 11:1 compression motor requires more than pump gas 
Now, if they were down in the mid 40's, they would have me as a buyer banging on their door today.

The description says "11:1 KB pistons mean you can run on pump gas without worries." Are they fibbing?  |

I changed it, but when he originally was selling it he stated 13:1 compression at one of the Cobra Revolutions he had the car at. it is possible they changed it after finding out that 13:1 motors do not play nice on pump gas.

Cash is King! It never hurts to make your best offer take it or leave it. It is a very nice car, and I agree the RJ does nothing for me either. |

RJ adds nothin in this case

you can't build that car for what they are asking!...the attention to detail is awesome!

That is what I heard, however, I also heard the buyer is "suspect" and potentially expect the car to show up back on the same "dealer circuit" in the near future.

Easy to follow if so. However the car had a reserve and it was pulled. No reason to pull your reserve to buy your own car back. |

Only to "make a sale" and "set a benchmark". I cannot tell you how many times this happens with no logical reason as to why. In the last 19 years of my time at these types of auctions, I can document a large percentage of "specialty cars" which have ended up back with their original owner/sellers even after dropping the reserve (IE: their man was the top bidder, they dropped the reserve in hopes of him(her) getting out bid and moving the car to a higher price point).......If memory serves me correctly, I do believe this will not be the first time this has appeared to happen with this particular car. Again why is anyones guess as there is no real logic behind throwing away money................
