WOW, Awesome car, but those Keystone Classic wheels, not so much.

[Wrinkleface]

cool!!

[Expensive Date]

Who owned it,anyone know?

[JupiterSunsation]

Why wouldn't the IRS enter this car at Barrett Jackson? BJ would fetch the largest dollar amount out there for this car and even after paying the fees the IRS would be ahead of the game.

I disagree how they do these auctions. If the guy paid 1mm for this car and owes the IRS 1mm then they sell it for 200K.....guess what, he still owes 800K! Yet if they got top dollar for the car he would be debt free.

Sure, the IRS is going to bend over backwards and be worried about getting top dollar for it. :rolleyes:

Maybe he should have sold it before the gov. seized it.

And the wheels were the first thing I noticed as well.:ack2:

I can't believe the IRS knew what it was/what it was worth!

He could have told them he owned a 41 year old Chrysler........like a Brady Bunch wagon instead of one of the rarest cars of that era!

Sometimes rare assets are tough to sell quickly for top dollar......

That was the Dodge version of the superbird nice car!:USA:

We ARE talking about a governemnt agency after all.

That sucks, but why should it be the IRS' problem, and not the deadbeat's who hasn't paid his taxes?

There are a LOT less Daytona Chargers out there and they are worth WAY more money than the Superbird. There is a good possibility that one of those, maybe that one, will become the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold.

It should have factory rivits holding on the trim tag. That one has screws. That right there would make me question if it is a high quality clone

My point was sometimes this "rare" stuff can't be sold on Ebay top dollar in a week! I understand the IRS wants to get paid (so Obama has money to give away!) but in the case of cars like this it may not be in their own best interests to sell it themselves.

How they even got their hands on this car is beyond me......if it was mine and they were looking for it it would sell for NADA value to a friend/relative so it could be sold later for top dollar rather than let them sell it for whatever they can get for it on their own.

x2....the guy must be a total eff - up......or he died and he still owes taxes

hemi powered....very rare......in the early 80s a guy I knew had a Daytona....in pieces....but it was all there, had the 440 auto, Sublime green.....the prev owner had put a, get this, Ostrich skin vinyl roof on it that included the trunk lid!!.....faaack!.....my "friend" stripped the ostrich off it and was getting the car ready for a good paint job......the guy was such a hellraiser he was hard to hang around with so I kept my distance from him then he died a few yrs later at age 32 of hard living.....wasnt close to his family for the same reasons.....my buddies and I wonder to this day what happened to that car

No chit. I need to head over there and check that thing out!!!!

[cigdaze]

Wow. Incredible. It looks mint.

Screws are correct for the trim tag, Rosette rivets were used for the vin tag.
GM, however used hollow tube rivets for their trim tag attachment.

That would be in a GM only mfg vehicle, over........................


Trim+Chrysler=Screw
Vin+Chrysler=RivRiv

Good call Lee, agreed^^^^^^^

[Boss252]
