$119k was the starting bid. Way too high for a starting bid. Start lower, but with reserve price.
Seller might have done better on bring-a trailer. Some F/Gs have sold for decent prices there in the last year.
The issue is that it is a dealer disguised as a "museum" (tax evasion/deduction?).
They either paid too much for the car to start with or the car is on consignment and the asking price has been bumped up to cover the dealer's commission.
Just like the Gauguin Red C at Ellingson's in MN.
Been for sale for 3 years or more?
Asking price started way too high- came way down - still no sale.
They keep posting on ebay - trying the same thing over and over with same result. Dumb.
If they really want to sell - price will align with market demand. Simple economics.

All,
So, was the $119,920 a "buy it now" price or was that what the seller needed for the starting bid, but not necessarily a sale at that price? It says there were no bids.

The same car is on the seller's webpage for sale at $149,990.

Totally agree. I've been doing the same thing this past month as various young(er) fellas have come through the grrrage to work on my home interior.
The good news is many of them are gearheads. I show them the G. They love it.
That said, that doesn't mean they would buy a car like this. Two issues: they can''t afford these cars, or they are more into 80s/90s iron.
Typically, it's the cars (and trucks) of their youth that appeal to them.

Too much money for the money it will likely need to make most of us happy with it. Thick red paint on auction or consignment cars is De rigueur.

However the other thing going on is the waning interest in Chrysler letter cars. 20 years ago these were $150,000 cars but the hobby and tastes have moved on to later cars.

I do my best to solicit interest among younger car show attendees. Every young man that comes to my house to fix or maintain anything is given a free tour of my garage. Some are mildly interested or polite. Others are gobsmacked. We have to keep this up.
