Mecum Auction 71 429 Vert

[Galucha]

Don't know if anyone's posted this yet but thought this was a pretty special car. Can't say I've seen too many 429 4 speed verts. Any guesses on what it will bring?

Special car for sure. But once you get past 100k,  you're getting into real Shelby money. And at that level it is more of an "investment" decision than a "thats a nice car" decision.

Sold for $115,500.  The Grabber Lime one was Thomas' car and a very nice one.   There are a few of us on this forum that still have our 71 vert 429s.  This is my red one.

130k with commission, wow. Good news, a little cred to the big horse family!

The $115.500 included the commission... It sold for $105,000. It has been a while since a factory big block 71 vert has crossed a major auction block, so predicting the final sale price was truly an unknown, no comparable's... Given these times... a fair price in today's market.

An extremely attractive package with all the goodies you could ask for in a vert.  IMO, it would be hard not to drive and enjoy what it has to offer.

I should think about buying a lottery ticket now and then.....
