[QUOTE="oldmachguy, post: 16916399, member: 48367"] I think maybe people are talking past each other. Like I said, I don’t know if the dad or son is quoted in the video or, if they are, what they said - true or false. But despite the title of the article I linked, or the author’s puffery, neither the father nor the son were quoted in the article as saying the car was beating 9 and 10s cars. In fact, one quote was simply that “Qualls’ car is one of just 23 Hemi four-speed R/T SE Challengers sold in the model’s debut year, and it is possibly the only car ever built with these performance and trim options” - which by itself would raise its value. The article quotes a frequent passenger saying, “It was beating everything—Vettes, Chevelle 396, 375 … those were nothing for this car … This car was the king of the street in those days.” But I don’t read that to be either the dad or son speaking; and based on his description of “everything,” particularly the kinds of cars he did not describe, it wasn’t someone who would know what 9 and 10s cars were - like someone embedded in Woodward’s bare knuckle street scene of the time. So when you say the story is “just not a true one,” you can’t mean what the dad or son were quoted as saying in the Hagerty’s article from Dec. 2020. If one of them is quoted in the video as claiming a bone stock highly optioned car was in fact beating 9 and 10s modified cars then not only would that be clearly false, but anyone with six or seven figures to give for the car would likely know it’s false. So, again, unless the video ascribes such an overinflated claim to dad or son, I think the “hype” is on third parties. And the core story and car itself make it unusually valuable .. in a market where, IIRC, a Plumb Crazy convertible hemi Challenger brought way more … like $4M. [/QUOTE]
