Did anyone else find it surprising that Steven Julianos yellow Mod Top Barracuda bested most of his other Mopars by obliterating Mecum’s often-generous estimates and selling for $440,000 after buyers fees?

We all stood there in awe and could not believe it. Same for the cutaway engines.

I was outbid on several $50 banners, so I wasn't too surprised it went that high

Impressive.....

I found it shocking but I'm not in the league that can even consider buying such vehicles.
I would have to assume that there must have been a few bidders that really wanted this car bad to drive the price up this high over estimate?

JMHO, as cool as that car is with that top - and I do think it's way cool - there's absolutely no way even if I had the money to play in the realm that I would pay that kind of cash. Congrats to the new owner as it definitely is a cool ride though.

I too feel that the selling price was a bit (insert adjective here).

But . . . this is not just a Mod Top car. It also has the matching interior (which was sourced from a shower curtain manufacturer in Brooklyn, NY)

I'm happy for his widow or family who will be receiving this nice check..

I don't think his widow was hurting.
