[Chrysler300] re viewing B-J Palm Beach 300G 'sale'

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you to Rob Kern for mentioning B-J's latest sale, this weekend I 
presume in Florida.

If you access their website, you can go to either their auction results for 
Florida, or the earlier Arizona.  If you select 'make' it gives you just the 
make you wish to see or search.

After this I suggest you go to the listing that gives the cars at each 
Auction, because this then brings up photos and any history - like at 
Arizona the 57 Imperial Convertible was originally ordered by Howard Hughes, 
which is I believe shows Howard for all his money thought an Imperial was 
better than the more popular, now regarded same years Cadillac?!

On looking at Rob's mentioned 61 300G convertible, that it made only 80K 
seems puzzling re other recent 300G sales well above this - surely that the 
car was non original red would not wipe maybe $100 -120K off the price - 
look at that car in front of that house/setting, and it is a knockout today 
- imagine it new back in 60-61, or look forward to whatever (mundane styled) 
cars are sold in 10-20 years time?!

More consistent re values seem 67 Shelby GT500 fastbacks - wow regularly 
over $200K lately, and it much easier to build a fake one of them, re having 
one, than say a 57-61 300 convertible ?!!  B-J sold a red 67 500 F/Back - 
it's photos still there - looks great, but in years to come, will they or 
300 convs move much higher?!

Leave it all with you - good for us who own cars already, but if still other 
good fast good looking cars we wanted, maybe bit too late, so maybe that is 
either good or bad, according to how we should spend our futures, maybe find 
things other than our 'cars'?!

yours from Oz on a Sunday, Christopher
