6-Pack 4-Speed Bird Bargain at RM

Anyone catch the Superbird at the RM auction in Florida a couple of weeks ago?   6-pack, 4-speed Bird sold for $77k.      Wondering what shape the car was in?    Seems like a new pricing low. 

Aero426

Never mind, I can see the pics now.  It's an old custom job - looks like Carroll Beeler's old red white & blue car.   Last time I saw it was Talladega in 1976.   Still looks sharp, but I see why it brought less.   Lots of incorrect trim and interior, but I bet it's a pretty solid car.

That price still seems low for a 6 pac 4 speed Bird. Even with its custom paint job, its still a legit 6 pac Bird.

Hmmmm, that makes me think. Over the years it has always seemed that 6 pac Superbirds, 440 Daytona's and HEMI 500's are typically around the same price. Hmmmmm, so who has the HEMI 500 or Daytona for sale for this price?  :coolgleamA:

Here is a photo of the RM Auction car from Talladega in 1976.  Taken in the Motel Birmingham parking lot before torrential rains came.   It sure does not look much different today.

Here is the twin sister car, same owner.   Limelight and yellow.

Taken during the downpour.    The second car is the Roger Dennee custom painted Bird we spoke about not long ago.  He lost that car in a divorce.  The third car, the Daytona is the one now painted up like a K & K Insurance car.

 A Superbird sold at the Russo & Steele Jan. auction for $85,800 and that includes buyer's fee.  Lemon twist U code, black bench with column auto, said to be in #2 condition.  And a #1 Lime light U code went for around $147,000.  Looks like prices are all over the place.

Doug, I have the EXACT same picture in my album, with a second, horizontal picture overlaid on it to show some cars in the other parking lot row, plus it gives a better view of the wings.  I know SOMEBODY gave the the pix; cant remember who.  thought it was Joe M from the winged warriors, but if you have a copy... :shruggy:

The short version of the story is that they were repairing a propane truck in the building.     Overhead door was opened, the furnace kicked on and "BOOM"!    Many cars were lost, about 60 of them.     The Bird was one of the lesser damaged. 

Yes the car is still around.  Haven't heard anything about it being restored.
