Wow, just wow! $110K. Dean you have outdone yourself. Your car is gorgeous and @amartinez55 is getting quite a gem.

I’ve done nothing for the last 1/2hr except being floored by the auction. Those guys were killing me. Now back to my restomod project....

Congratulations,
-Eric

Thank you everyone... I never could have imagined this result.. I knew it would sell well, but this falls a wee bit outside of what could reasonably be expected :shock:

Most of us here have this intrinsic need to simply create.. the journey is the thing, and in our case it's with wheels.. to ever get any of our time and money invested back is gravy... today has been a heck of a gravy day at our house!!.. Who in the hell would have thought?? I'm happy, and humbled, and in no small part lucky in that this particular model just so happens to be rising in cost and popularity right now.. The perfect storm.. amazing :D

$110k? OMG :headbang:

That has to be the highest priced sale of a project car blogged here on LocostUSA. Well done sir! :cheers:

A-Maze-Zing! Congratulations.

Since the Berkeley project is nearing the end (I think), I have to wonder what sort of future sugar plums are dancing in you head now with $110K to fiddle with. I'm staying tuned.

Cheers

I don't know what you put into it, but given the average selling price of the 1800S shown on BaT, I've got to think you're absolutely thrilled with the outcome.

Congratulations!

Sounds like the new owner is going to extensively modify it. Seems odd to me, paying that for the car only to dump a bunch more money into it. Maybe that's my poor mans thinking coming out. :)
