Ron Pratte liquidated his collection of 140 vehicles, and donated all proceeds to the Armed Forces Foundation

The dual supercharged Cobra that had been the 5.5 million dollar sale some years ago when Carroll Shelby auctioned it off sold for 5.115 million this time...

The Futureliner went for 4 million, and the Bonneville Special that went with it sold for 3.3 million

Tuesday was the special sale day for 110 of Ron's vehicles, and Saturday was set aside for the best 30

Showing just how over rated, and over valued some cars were in the 2008 crazy auction price days, the Howard Hughes '53 Buick Roadmaster that Ron paid 1.6 million for went for 1/10th that amount this time... as no one really wants an inconsequential museum piece with very little notoriety. The racing planes Howard Hughes flew might for for millions, but some Buick? Nope. Not a lot of rich people want to go home with that.

The Blastolene B-702 French Curve went for 550,000

Chezoom went for 375,000

The Beverly Hillbillies truck by Barris went for 275,000

Coddington customs went for between 150,000 and 250,000

A COPO Camaro went for 330,00

A Yenko Chevelle went for 275,000

Le Bestione went for 143,000

the JF Customs Savoy wagon went for 242,000

The Crosley hook and ladder went for 115,500

the 62 WinterNats swiss cheese 61 Hurst Catalina Super Duty only went for 82 thou

Charity auctions win, but Mopar Challenger wins over Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro (again, and for a while to come based on the HP of the Hellcat)

Each of the Detroit Big Three automakers donated a hot muscle car to be sold for charities of their respective choosing on Super Saturday at Barrett-Jackson.

the 1st Challenger Hellcat raised $825,000 http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/09/29/first-2015-dodge-challenger-srt-hellcat-sells-for-825000/

the 50th anniversary Mustang, #1964 of 1,964 50th anniversary editions raised $170,000

The first to cross the block was a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, VIN No. 003. The jet black Z/28 raised $147,500

74 mile '70 Hemi Cuda, $500,000

A 62 yr old bought it, took off some factory stuff carefully for storage, installed race parts.... went racing for the rest of the year. Died that winter. His widow died a few years later and the son sold off the car for $3500 in 1977.

The buyer reinstalled the original parts, owned the car for 16 years, and only drove it for pushed it around for just 5280 ft.
Just one mile in 16 years.
330 ft a year on aveage.

My granny's chicken's fly farther than that with a good tail wind.

So it passed through some collectors hands for investment purposes, and in 2005 is purchased with 61 miles. This last owner tuned it up for proper operation, and auctioned it off for $500,000. It's the lowest mileage 70 Hemicuda in existance, and likely it'll never be driven over 100 miles. Sad, that's car abuse. To never drive it... might as well buy a house for investment purposes. It's never going anywhere either.

If I read right, a 71 hemi convertable sold for $2.2 million. $1.7 million more for being a convertable.
