I believe a Pantera is more valuable than an earlier Ferrari 308. I have seen the Pantera in photos from Scottsdale thanks to Robert Shewchuk and it didn't look particularly exciting. The seller should have brought over Tom Tjaarda to address the audience like Bobby Allison did. He is our best spokesperson currently. I also wonder if this Pantera was "bought back" by its owner on any of the prior auctions? I don't think I would recommend an auction as a place to sell your car unless time is a factor or you enjoy the excitement of an auction. Incidentally, PI Member Scott Black is involved with the marketing and PR for the B-J Auction. I think he has done a tremendous job, don't you? Finally, I saw several hot rods such as the "Avenger" and "Loaded" cross the block on Saturday night. They sold for what I believe are very low prices and both are very special compared to a 'Cuda or Chevelle.
When you get that many cars and that kind of enrgy you get cars over sold and undersold. I really thought the 2mil dollar Cuda compared to the Daytona winged racer was an upset. Not that that wasn't a lot of money for the winged racer but I felt it had a lot more importance then the Cuda. And the concept cars. The second one went for about 10% of the first. That seemed way off. I know the significance of the other but not with that much difference.
