Market commentary
To say it is unusual to find a Hemi Charger with a laundry list of options is a major understatement and this was a car obviously not bought to lay thich streaks of rubber down a dragstrip. When it appeared (with no result reported) at Auburn in 2000 it showed 43,850 miles and today is has just 399 mile, some of it accumulated at Kissimmee in 2015 where it sold for $145,800, B-J Palm Beach three months later where it sold for $165,000 and B-J WestWorld earlier this year where it brought just $101,200. It was a huge value then, and its condition and performance make it understandable why the consignor would expect to find it bringing a little more.
