Thanks, interesting. Reasonably sure my Great Aunt’s Daughter( a South Bend Indiana Resident), traded Her Studebaker Hawk* , in for a Porthole Top Bird (19??s?) , (unfortunately no pix, etc.) though a lot of Drama for us car Nut Relatives in 1958(?
a few years ago they could barely give a 57 T-Bird away ! The auction commentator was going crazy when one was barley crackin $20,000 ... he said THE PAINT JOB ON IT COST MORE THAN THAT !!!!
Story is TWO people REALLY like Starmist Blue. ALL of Minter's restorations are of this caliber, so that in itself does not explain it. Maybe Marylin Monroe once farted in it.
They need to go back up in value. Most beautiful 50s car by far
Wow! That's a lot of money.
I fell in love with this T-bird about 10 years ago in Havana.
My absolute favorite model year
That is even beyond F-Bird territory. Two people must REALLY like Starmist Blue.
Helluva sale.
That's VERY high for this car.
Good for the seller.
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Unbelievable for the seller and Barrett Jackson!
What about the bidder who paid 1.1 Million Dollars for the 67 Corvette Restomod built by Jeff Hayes 😮
@@rudychavez7934 Jeff Hayes is very talented and his builds are one-of-a-kind. If I had $1.1, I'm not sure if I'd spend it on any car. But I might! 😀
@@choward5430 if I had the funds I would have a top builder restomod several cars
We only live once enjoy it to the fullest

I thought these 50s cars were dropping in price?!

F-codes dont even come close to this money. A D-code Auto trans? I see its as perfect of a restoration as you can get. Is there more to this story?
