Equipment
factory lightweight, Hemi-powered Super Stock car that was sold new, and campaigned in Super Stock drag racing by Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago, the fabled Mr. Norm’s dealership of muscle and drag folklore.
Market commentary
This particular car is no stranger to auctions—it was a no-sale at Mecum Indy back in 2011, with a reported high-bid $95k and again then at Mecum Dallas 2019 at $120k. That it earned so much more in 2021 owes, if anything, to the recent spike in muscle car values, a trend that has also benefited in-person auction companies like Mecum. Yet the fact that it achieved this price online is evidence that sellers and the platforms themselves are awakening to the potential for muscle cars to hit it big online.
