Over $100k and Still Five Days to Go
« on: March 01, 2019, 18:43:15 »
I am not in anyway related to this car, the owner or BaT (except that I am a member and its the site that sold my 230SL).

I wasn't sure of the best forum category to post this in...we may want to add a "Pagoda's at Auction" category some day.

At $120k now. Beautiful work.

Did anyone else notice the knob behind the ashtray? What's that for, I wonder?

This may seem strange, but that seems cheap... It sold for $123k...

Just looking at the pictures and having recently been pricing things, it seems like the restoration would have been close to this, excluding the cost of the initial car...
