So you mean the cars were not good? That's a crazy price for a jeep

first of all, you have to understand the rarity of that jeep- Ford Jeep-very few made and extremely
collectible
the cars looked better in the photos then in person to me................... so the prices were pretty strong. I was there for the 180 and 12k was certainly fair. The frame had sag and the interior wood frame needed to be completely redone, so I was not a contender. It was from South America, as the cut out for the right hand steering column was there.
I am sure many parts went cheap, but just wasnt interested in parts with a 13% premium, bad weather and large crowds, so I passed on the auction, but loved seeing the preview on Friday.
