It was a tongue in cheek response to how low they went for. ;-)

That selling price was nuts!!! $110,000 for the pair?

They were both preproduction assembly line pilot cars.

I remember both of those cars from the 1980s. I still have photos of both of them somewhere. One was in CT and the other was in MA.

It was like the auctioneers purposely snuck them through between the million dollar cars and couldnt get them off the block soon enough for the next million dollar car.

Never sell a pair of cars at auction. Never ever.

Darn right. That Coronet RT 440-6 was one of 7 produced. (7 four speeds and 9 autos.)

Absolutely insane. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Why didn't the seller have a reserve on these cars? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Supposedly one of them has already been resold by the auction buyer for more than the two-for-one auction price.

That was the ultimate &quot;Buy One, Get One Free&quot; sale of the century.

I don't know the conditions of the cars so perhaps it was a good buy but not as astounding as the numbers may indicate.
