I think they sold this same car a few years ago for 1.2 million and will probably sell it again in 3 years for maybe 4 million? They are making money for sure.
I remember my dad taking both front A-pillar chrome and the rear wing off of one of these in a junkyard back in the early "80s.....I was just a 12 year old kid....He paid, believe it or not $75.00 for all of it.🤭🤭....He was gonna put them on his "70 Charger work car but my mother would have nothing of it.😭😭....So he put them up in his garage loft where they still are to this day.🤔🤔
Dodge will forever be known as king of muscle cars Chevy and ford wouldn’t be where they are today without dodge the dodge charger Daytona was the first car in history to reach 205MPH Bugatti wasn’t even on the same level as dodge back then
Yeah the auction fees are crazy. I’m sure a good accountant can deduct that cost under “business expense”. Add the tax issues with this as claiming the sale as income. But I’m sure they claim a lot of business expenses, things like shipping to location, or fuel cost and employees cost, and vehicle and trailer costs for shipping. Got have a good accountant.

Its a damned shame the green new deal liberals are killing off the muscle car segment of the auto industry. Seems like only Ford is even trying at this point with the Mustangs. Thank you God we will still have Mecum to remind us of greater days.
Liberals? Facts, please! Management has killed all their muscle cars because of profit, not government. The 600hp Corvette and GT 'Stangs are still around, dude, as well as all the 500+ hp foreign builds.
Nuts, the buyer will never get that money back as there are very few peeps willing to pay this ridiculous amount in the first place. I only hope that the buyer is a philanthropist who gives back 10-20 times the price of this car to the community annually in form of medical aid to the poor for example. But then again he is probably a complete douche living in his billionaire bubble.
You could have one built for $100,000 maybe 15 years ago. A rotted to death '69 Charger carcass is in the $20,000-$30,000 range right now, and increasing daily. Figure once you acquire that mess, it'll take, on average, one full year to build a Daytona clone from that. That's 2,000 hours @ $100 an hour, minimum. Now we're at $200,000 + the $25,000 initial price on the VIN, which is all that'd be salvageable on the carcass. Figure another $100,000 for the new sheet metal, drivetrain, interior, wiring harness, and all the shiny bits. Now we're at $325,000, at the very least. You'll have a very nice car, but it won't be a numbers matching hemi four speed Daytona. Things have gotten quite expensive in this hobby !
Sad. It will never get driven. Problen is with millions of horrible drivers on the roads today. Why risk such à historically great car to getting T boned by a punk in a 30 year old Honda pile of crap.
Grave yard cars you could have one built for $250k or build a plain 318 starting point and build for a driver for a lot less. I’m all for capitalism. But this is drunk bidding and a way too much money in your account for kinda thing. 😂😂🤣🤣
They always say that a car is only worth what some moron is willing to pay. 3.3 million dollars, you know how many homeless people could get off the streets with that. Unbelievable, I love classic cars but until they make a car that can fly, float and make my dinner I’m not spending that much on a car.
Whoever paid this can do it. Stop crying over what the next person has. If you were a billionaire, your mind frame would be totally different from what it is now. I'm dirt poor, but if I had that kind of money, I would pay 3mil too!
@@TheCadillacMack if one were a billionaire you would be smart enough to know this is way to much even for this car because this value will not hold. This car was bought by someone who wanted it at any price.
Such a classic, these are so rare and my favorite car ever
When you have money to burn
Auction makes $300,000 for one sale!?! That’s ridiculous too!
Actually $600k...both buyer and seller pay the 10%

I used to have one of those. I used it as my hunting car. Real good at driving over plowed fields at high speeds.

I will give you $375.00....and a picture of it on my 72
Had same problem with my whole car my mother did not understand it's value ,and I lost it and got nothing

I’ll take two!!!!
how many times did you say WOW as this was going up
what type of restoration was this - ground up - original? thanks
The Superbird is cool,
But I’d rather have a
69 Charger 500 with
The Hemi and the
4 speed…

They was working hard to get the bidders to keep binding for as long as possible.
how does this compare with the GReen Mustang Bullit of Steve McQueen?
3.74 million
I can see a Pantera
Noting is actually worth that much ,but nice .
Who is the buyer?
3 Mill. ( must be nice to afford one)
Toretto bought it.

Nuts is right. Who cares how a billionaire spends his money? Should he just give every person in America $3.00 so he is broke and everyone is equal?
