Nice blue/argent Boss 351 just sold on Barrett-Jackson for the "reasonable" price (by B-J standard) for $27,000
Yeah Im watching it! Thought it would fetch more than that!Nice blue/argent Boss 351 just sold on Barrett-Jackson for the "reasonable" price (by B-J standard) for $27,000
That is reasonable for a true boss..Goes to show the collector market hasn't hit bottom just yet..As I predicted a few months ago there are plenty of great deals out there & more hitting the market every day..Yeah Im watching it!

Yeah me too. 70 Boss 302 clone went for more than a true Boss 351. Dont get auctions sometimes. Even the comentator said the Boss 351's were the best driving cars out of all the Bosses.Yeah Im watching it!

Car was in GREAT condition...I don't know what kind of condition the Boss 351 was in, but $27,000 was probably a steal. They've been going for $15-$20K more than that. The consignor is probably considering jumping off a bridge right about now.

I agree, I watch both auctions on a regular basis and Mecum has become my favorite.Wrong auction for that car. Would have done better at a Mecum auction.
It's actually closer to 30k by the time you pay the buyers premium & add in all the other fees. It seems that rear qtr repairs repop panel section replacements are a real sore spot for most shops..or owners replacing themselves..IT TAKES REAL SKILL TO DO IT CORRECTLY for a invisible repair. Not only that ..it also costs about double labor wise to butt weld a panel on vs an overlap.OK I went to BJ today and the first thing I had to do was find the Boss for 27K. Well I found it. Just what I thought TV makes the car look good. The person who BONDOED the rear quarters up should be slapped. The paint was nice but chipped in spots. The glass was scratched. The Hurst shifter was incorrect. The rear spoiler was on backwards. Just to list a few things. I didn't look under the hood so who knows what that was like. So 27K for a Boss 351 driver/project was maybe a little to much coin.
That doesnt FIT the driver/ project mode for this guy! Some bad bondo, chipped glass, a few items wrong here and there, I would be listening to SOLD IT! SOLD IT! SOLD IT! FOR 27k on the B1 I have bought and sold many cars over the years and you couldnt get close to that price by doing it yourself. Previous owner is probably down in THE BOTTOM of a bottle of PATRON after that saleOK I went to BJ today and the first thing I had to do was find the Boss for 27K. Well I found it.

Could not agree more...If the rear spoiler is on backwards (hard to tell in the picture) that is just LAME. That only draws more attention to many other things that may have been done ass backwards.
Most likely took it to a body shop full of rusty Camaros and Novas.If the rear spoiler is on backwards
