Me as an individual couldn't get 1/3 of what they are asking for these cars' >ridicules prices.

[@randyhoepker5528]

I loved this episode!Especially since it covered my old car-the ‘71 M51 GY3 JS23 Challenger. I was the guy in the pictures in the photo album. I tried to be anal with its restoration and you heard from Tim Wellborn, it was done right. Actually Ken Mosier was the guy who inspected the car before he bought it. He owned Finer Details at one time. The factory mis-stamped the engine block as you surmised. It was off by a number. He grabbed the wrong die I guess. Glad you guys bought it. Hope you share it once in awhile in future episodes of your show. You bought it cheap. Mopar to you guys!

[@ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150]

So awesome! Thanks for commenting on your old car and build. She’s beautiful, thanks for saving her 💪 She will stay in our collection of sunroof Mopar’s and someday when we get a large enough building to include a museum she will be on display there.

[@randyhoepker5528]

Thanks and I look forward to it being in a museum again. It will be preserved for others to see that way.

[@Camcodrummer]

That Hemi Cuda is beautiful but is over restored IMO. I dont like you can see body color through the grille. Still a nice car.

[@HoosierHacker]

Great video and editing! Felt like I was there. You guys are a wealth of knowledge. Fun chatting at MCACN.

[@blevins6584mopar]

So weird to see Chris Harrison @ Mecum . I love mopar's man they had them right back in the day. The 2024 models 😪

[@pontiac6978]

I prefer the bench seat column shift over bucket seats and console.

[@KinleysClassics]

Watching that Bahama Yellow 71 Barracuda hardly sell for 40k blew me away. No reserving is a scary game to play. Someone got very lucky. I'd buy it for that all day long to replace mine.

[@ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150]

That’s why we bought it, we were shocked too

[@dennisbrill6087]

I love Z 28 the more Z you can show me I saw two, but I want to see the green, but you went by too fast so if you could just show more cameras, I watch more. I’m a girl fan. I know you I like that your cars too, but I love my car. My first car was a 69Z and now I’m disabled. I can’t afford being on SSI. You can’t afford to buy it anymore. I love to get a marijuana one of these days and we’re trying to work on it but show me Kamt I know how to work on Kamt. I can’t work on it anymore either I have friends but the Mopar my son had a three 4071 red with black, he sold it.

[@edwarddaou9941]

You guys seem cool af.. Down to earth and legit 👍🏽🤙🏽

Thanks brother!

How about that, someone took the time to make a four door Cuda. Yeah, no...

When your wife tells you that you have to get rid of your sports car and get a 4 door because of the kids...

@@Orcinus1967 something I checked into way before we got married, I needed to make sure that some lady wasn't just gonna be-bop into my life giving me orders to sell toys. 20 years later, she hasn't even gone as far as suggested that I sell anything. I kinda already knew she wouldn't, it would've have done any good anyway. But yeah, I guess that's why there's those 4 door Hellcats just in case..

[@stuartb9323]

Did you guys breakout in a rash after touching all that fiberglass in the end?! 😂 I'm like you around a Vette when im looking at a Mopar 😵‍💫 Awesome video guys 👍

[@brianbarry6909]

Let's try this show the cars not the talking Twins 😮

[@randyhoepker5528]

I just noticed on the 71 Barracuda you bought, they put the wrong production date on the reproduction VIN sticker on the door. They didn’t make any 71 models in November of 1971. Check it out.

[@ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150]

Will do!

Thank you for taking us along with you, that was incredible! Conrad

The guys that bought the challenger...the bidders assistant wanted them to out bid themselves!

[@ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150]

Yep, you see that huh? Fricken dirty!!

Yes...that seems to happy a lot. And you two are real pro's. Just discovered your channel, class act! Keep up the great work.@@ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150

[@KetchLambier]

After this upcoming economic shift, the pricing will relax. It is ridiculous.

[@patbateman6729]

I'm always looking for a good Mopar deal. Your not going to find it at these cesspool auctions like Mecum or BJ.

[@ChasingMusclecars_Mopars5150]

99% of our car hunting is not at auctions but this auction was a lot of fun and the sunroof 71 Challenger art was a good deal for us. But everyone’s idea of a good deal is different.

[@irocitZ]

Or even worse, at a consignment classic car dealer.

[@patbateman6729]

So true Snake Oiler.

[@irocitZ]

@@patbateman6729 haha, leave it to a car guy to pick that off. But yeah, those auctions started that ball rolling, it was like everyone wanted BJ numbers for average cars. I found out recently that some of these dealers put 35% on the top for cars they get on consignment, I guess that's why I see the same cars on eBay for a year.

[@irocitZ]

@@patbateman6729 haha, leave it to a car guy to pick that off. But yeah, auctions like BJ got the ball rolling with everyone thinking average cars were worth the same as BJ cars.

Great video as I love mopars and fords. Currently own a 2007 ford mustang Shelby gt with 11k on it! First car a 69 mustang mach1 at 16! My friends had cuda, gtxs, 340 dodge dart, chevelle ss. Great era to grow up in!!👍👍👍🍺🍺

Your 71 barracuda is a very early car 803 the serial number is odd our car is 802 and number is 1000021 you know more about the numbers can you explain that way cool car

I deleted over 10 subscribers on my KZbin page just to keep up with you I wouldn't mind seeing you guys take one of those dodgers and put a new motor in it
