[DeTomaso] Today's Mecum Auction Results

Sat Jan 23 23:42:49 EST 2016

For the orange one I suspect it was the "Kustom" interior and twin supercharger motor that kept buyers away.  If I were to buy that car I would want to see the dyno sheets. If someone just bolted on superchargers because they looked cool it could be undriveable.  

What we didn't see at this auction was a "normal mileage" (>40K mi ?), minimally or tastefully modified car for price analysis.

I wonder if the '71 had too many customizations.A  They were very nice
   mods almost all of them very tasteful but at these market levels maybe
   buyers are looking for originality?A  That would disappoint me to no
   end because of how much I value imagination and engineering.
