RM Classic Car Auction

Just watched the 1971 Hemi Cuda convertible go for $2.2MM. Is that for real? A Plymouth for $2.2MM. Buyer was a hedge fund manager. His annual income was close to a $1 billion last yr. Guess it was chump change to him.

The word Chump was an appropriate choice...

Just saw at Christie's in New York, Steve McQueen's "marrone" Ferrari 250GT...he really was the king of cool...

I really don't want him managing my money.

If he makes $1 billion a year, he must be doing something right.

As a matter of fact I would care less what they would think about my personal spendings

I loved Ken Gross' comment after the 'cuda sold. "If I were spending $2.2 million on a car it wouldn't be a Plymouth". Ken said, "I would more than likely be buying a Ferrari or Dusenberg for that kind of money".

Interesting that a previously raced Shelby Mustang GT 350 that was beating up on Corvettes at the time did not meet reserve at $700K. Apparently, one had sold a few months earlier for $900K.
