My uncle works for them. He was there, my dad used to do almost all of Dana's personal restoration work. We were slotted to sell my dads 70 lime green Challenger r/t Mr. Norm's car, 28k survivor, #'s match 383 4spd car. Couldn't get a clutch in time and decided he'd rather keep it. As a favor our truck and trailer did haul home a $750k 68 Yenko camaro. . . no test drive was allowed as thanks

Pretty cool, but I feel for a million, I'd rather get something else( or three) instead.

Yeah, $1 mil is a bit much, but a lot of those cars go for absurd amounts at auctions like Mecum and Barrett-Jackson. Bunch of blowhards trying to flex their financial muscles for the crowd.

That being said......GOD is that car gorgeous. I don't even care if you're the biggest Ford hater, anyone that doesn't give that car its props is an idiot. You can argue its performance if you want, but aesthetically, it is damn near perfection.

I was watching when it went up. Price seemed right, don't forget it was a movie car. That always puts it off into a different field of play.

Million dollars these days isn't much . Hell i saw two dudes looked like teenagers at the gas station tonight in a Bentley coupe , in the rain . That Eleanor should be in Jay Leno's garage or given to Nicholas Cage cause i think he's broke now .

People with real money don't give a fuck. I'm not talking 10-20 million. I'm taking people that are worth 100million plus. They spend like that all day.

Someone paid $750k for a 68 Yenko? I assume tglhat is before fees as well?

And the Eleanor cars are fugly. I would buy a couple real Shelby Mustangs before I spent that kind of money on that car.

If I owned that I'd have a projector in my garage with that movie on repeat
