It's that Heritage paint. $245k is still REALLY strong. Add in the fee and you're in excess of $260k, or just about $100k over sticker.

I said 240 -250. Weird. I am almost always wrong

Tungsten GT hammered at $245k.

That's OK. Sort of a more back to earth retail price. Really, the Heritage car was nice, but after seeing this was irrational exhuberance. Two people really wanted it, badly.

Seems like a reasonable price. Heritage colors and lower miles must increase the value a lot!

The market is valuing the Heritage cars as if they are an entirely different model, not just a paint job.

As do most of the pricing guides.

based on the these two cars sales prices it appears to me that all GT's have gone up in price a minimum of 10% overnight....

Dave, are you at the auction? Anyone there? Did they say anything about the reason for the no CA sale?

I have to believe is because the car is lacking a smog test within the last 90 days. That is required to sell a car that is going to be registered in CA. I believe buying dealers are exempt from this rule.

To pass the test the p1000 code must be reset and all but one of the OBDII monitors have to be cleared. The car also has to pass a sniffer test on a dyno too! Getting all of this done can add over 200 miles to the car!

Eh? If the future buyer is registering the car in CA, then the seller needs to arrange for smog before the official sale goes through. As long as the car is stock, not sure why that would preclude a sale altogether.

Bidding the GT350 raced by Stirling Moss seemed really weak. $325k bid/no sale.

- Liebenberg prepared the car to Full R Specifications
- Number 89 of 252 carry over cars from the 1965 original build
- Raced in 2012 Rolex Monterey Historics, in FIA spec, finished in top ten by Dominic Dobson
- Extensive documentation history that includes racing photos from European FIA events and Australia with Stirling Moss and Carroll Shelby along with numerous communications between the two
- Currently has both Colorado title and bill of sale from Stirling Moss

It's CA the land of the fruits and nuts! The heritage must have been on MSO.

When a car is sold, who is responsible for the inspection?

The seller is required to provide the buyer with a valid smog inspection certification at the time of the sale or transfer. Smog certifications are good for 90 days from the date of issuance.

The inspection is not required on a transfer if a biennial smog certification was submitted to DMV within 90 days prior to the vehicle transfer date (a vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification).

NOTE: Smog certifications are not required for transfers that occur for a gasoline powered motor vehicle that is four or less model years old. (Determine the oldest-qualifying year model by subtracting three from the current year) the four or less model years old rule does not apply to diesel powered vehicles. A smog transfer fee will be collected from the new owner.

The tungsten car brought right at what I thought it would. I had guessed it would do $235-$245k. It was at the top of my guess, but I would have been shocked if it did $250k+. All the starts aligned right yesterday for the Heritage seller. Two people bidding on it that really wanted it. That will always push the numbers up high. I think the tungsten at $245k was actually at the very top of the current market for that particular car. In all, these were good auction results for everyone!

245 x 7 % right at 262k pretty strong especially if the Heritage was not sold for such an astronomical figure.
