I'm glad to have spent good times with Chris and his '31 at the Vintage Festival at Watkins Glen (2018?). His coupe was very well received.

It seemed like a pretty fair price in my head. Hot rods have a limited appeal to the buying public. Most that want these kind of cars build them to their personal taste, they dont buy what someone else built. I have never seen this car, nor did I know the owner/builder but it does look like a well put together rod and quite unique. I agree with Chief on this one, it was worth what at least 2 people were willing to spend, just like any car at auction. I too think that Pontiacs are undervalued, I know of a real 69 trans am that has been languishing around 100k for a long time now. For all of the Monday morning quarterbacks that think this couple was sold too cheap, why weren't y'all bidding?

And IMO, '69 T/A's should be in the COPO Camaro price range, but unfortunately they're not.

Face it, if its not a Chevy or has a Hemi, its not going to draw big money and in the case of this hot rod, its not a '32 Ford 3 window coupe with a V8.
