It looks like the prices listed reflect either buyers fee or sellers fee. The hammer prices were less than Mecum shows.

The above listed sales, I believe to be well bought considering the heritage of some of them, how some fit as traditional etc, all were real metal and the sale prices were way less than today's cost to build or have built to the level as presented at the auction.
If these prices represent current market value, I would be disappointed as a seller.
Some of the other rods sold for prices that were surprising, one way or another, I didn't list them.

@Curt R, how much did the Tommy Foster 32 Ford Roadster go for if you don't mind sharing...it had 2-300K as an estimated value?

 

hammered at 200k

 

Didn't see it in the auction, but he had a blue 36 roadster that was my favorite.

 

that's pretty cool. It was a really clean ride with a fair bit of notoriety/provenance...Thanks Curt.
