DragCat Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Just throwing this out, Chicago auction next month. My quick look see no load leveler and I'll assume aftermarket manifold. https://www.mecum.com/lots/CH1022-522873/1970-chevrolet-monte-carlo-ss/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing $70-75K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnette Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I’ll play along. I'll say 65 to 70K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still scratching my head at those extra seams in the vinyl roof. PS - there’s also a triple black ‘71 going across the block. I say this one brings $38K all day: https://www.mecum.com/lots/CH1022-522630/1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 I'll say 65K on the SS, not my money lol. 45K on Glens 71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I’m off the weekend of the auction and Schaumburg is not too far of a drive… Maybe I’ll see if I can’t get an admission ticket and go look at some cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregs70 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 $52.500 is my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, if you get eyes on them you may have to alter your bid guesstimate, either up or down 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’ll have to decide is if I want to register to bid in Joe’s name or Dennis’s name. 🤔 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I don’t have any money, but see if they take a check. I have 4 boxes of them so I’m good. Oops speaking of money, I bought another one yesterday. More to follow. Lol. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Well luckily unless Glen covertly gets a bidder badge he'll never make it into the show so Joe and Dennis are possibly safe. Hey Dennis, I'm running low on checks, can ya send me a box ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Nice job Glen!!!! You know you can pre-register and do it over the phone, that would be cool!!! Dennis i am surprised that you wouldn't tell Glen that. Maybe too busy printing those checks!! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 My car bid up to 65k in Indy, if this one is as nice of paint and body it should do more since it's #a matching and has documents. That black on red was eye candy though. 🍬 Be interesting to see. I'm gonna say 75k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 I'm still hoping Glen gets involved in the bidding, Dennis has lots of checks and needs another project 🤣 I'm a tad cynical on the auction pictures as a rule 🙃 Last mecum auction I went to a " recently restored" FG had a beautiful paint job, only problem was the rust was already bubbling up... I see 2 other FG's registered for their Chattanooga auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only 75,000 dollars. Come on please, pretty please. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Here it is, as well as the ‘71 that hit the block. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
