I loved this episode!Especially since it covered my old car-the ‘71 M51 GY3 JS23 Challenger. I was the guy in the pictures in the photo album. I tried to be anal with its restoration and you heard from Tim Wellborn, it was done right. Actually Ken Mosier was the guy who inspected the car before he bought it. He owned Finer Details at one time. The factory mis-stamped the engine block as you surmised. It was off by a number. He grabbed the wrong die I guess. Glad you guys bought it. Hope you share it once in awhile in future episodes of your show. You bought it cheap. Mopar to you guys!

So awesome! Thanks for commenting on your old car and build. She’s beautiful, thanks for saving her 💪 She will stay in our collection of sunroof Mopar’s and someday when we get a large enough building to include a museum she will be on display there.

Thanks and I look forward to it being in a museum again. It will be preserved for others to see that way.

Watching that Bahama Yellow 71 Barracuda hardly sell for 40k blew me away. No reserving is a scary game to play. Someone got very lucky. I'd buy it for that all day long to replace mine.

I just noticed on the 71 Barracuda you bought, they put the wrong production date on the reproduction VIN sticker on the door. They didn’t make any 71 models in November of 1971. Check it out.

I'm always looking for a good Mopar deal. Your not going to find it at these cesspool auctions like Mecum or BJ.

@ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150 5 ай бұрын

99% of our car hunting is not at auctions but this auction was a lot of fun and the sunroof 71 Challenger art was a good deal for us. But everyone’s idea of a good deal is different.

I found out recently that some of these dealers put 35% on the top for cars they get on consignment, I guess that's why I see the same cars on eBay for a year.
