5 mill for a cobra is crazy, that cars a monster. To think that car isnt even his most expensive car is crazy.

 

[201MPH]

Watching that cobra sell for 5 mill in person was phenominal. Overall though, I'd say money on Hemi Cuda's is down.

Even though these cars are being bid up to 250K+ a lot of the owners are buying them back at a cost of 18% + all fees. OUCH!

There are many, many cars that are being bought back by the owners who brought them, although the boss 429's did well, many of the BB vettes are down and overall I would say prices are cooling off.

What other cars does Ron Pratte have in his collection, other than the Super Snake and the Futureliner?

Watch "on the Block" the behind scenes B-J and they show him driving the Futureliner back home in Chandler and going into the warehouse. A big, big collection. Not open to the public.

He made his money in construction and has many other toys.

I don't personally, but paid attention through the years. Dad was going back and forth with him trying to buy KK 2526 from him in 2000. He was asking 125K for it back then, and my old man had a hard time justifying that kind of price. Steve Strange wound up buying it just before he was going to pull the trigger :frown

Supposedly it was built for Bunkie K, then he got fired from Ford mid year. IIRC car is still on the MSO, <900 miles, original oil drained blah blah blah. To sum up: Ed is a real nice guy and his B9 knowledge is probably second to none...and procrastination can cost much more than face value.

Anyways, this is why 2526 is "special" :lol:

2526:

 

[AZGT]

and how are the Hemi cars performing this year?

$550.000 for the FOUR DOOR Coronet :eek

But, 1 of 3 they said. Little Old Lady from Pasadena grocery car at its best.
