Mecum Harrisburg 77 TA. $440,000!!
We were there today and watched it unfold. This 14 mile car went to over $400k in seconds. It was crazy. https://www.mecum.com/lots/PA0722-53...c-trans-am-se/

Pretty good money for a car that won't keep up with a late model Honda Accord.

i have a lot of friends constantly making comments like this and cant seem to get it thru to them, it has nothing to do with being the fastest car. its all about reliving your youth and for most having the car they dreamed about. and they were the fastest production cars made back then.

I don't see this car ever selling for that money again. Reminds me of the Ray Allen Chevelle convertible that sold for $1.2 million. That buyer got somewhere around $200k, IIRC. Car brought $450k in 2015. Pretty damn expensive way to relive one's youth!!! At least that car had some historical significance. If you just want a "Smokey and the Bandit" T/A, there are plenty available without paying $440k. The 75 - 80 American cars are just slugs, IMHO. I have considered getting a 77 Z/28; just because it was a signal from Chevrolet that they were ready to get back to performance. It just took a really long time. GM was pretty much MIA from the day Pontiac killed the SD 455 until Buick gave us the GNX. It was like the light came on and they figured out emissions and performance did not go hand in hand. The 77 TA may have been the fastest US built car (top speed) with a back seat. Figures from old rags have the Corvette a couple of mph faster; but that is all academic, as neither could top 132. If you are claiming the 77 TA as the fastest production car from that year, you must be excluding European models.

I can't believe that a friend of mine sold a 79 black 4speed "completely original and unrestored" with 10 miles. I thought I got all the money when he sold it. Boy were we wrong.

Sometimes an auction result re-sets the market but many times it does not.
This (follow link) happened at BJ a few years back, but you can still buy a super nice 10th Anniversary car for 60K +. So very little impact... https://www.hemmings.com/stories/201...tsdale-auction This black car will not likely see 400K ever again....unless a picture appears of Burt sitting in it somewhere. It's an anomaly.
