sweet story, but yea i r confused

I’m assuming the bid was so high because some one else wanted to buy it for this kid? Now he gets the car AND keeps the money for any upkeep.

What’s the cost for a police-spec Charger? I’m pretty sure you can buy a new one for way less than $60k. I can’t imagine why people were in a bidding war for an old police Charger, unless everyone is fighting for the chance to give it to the sons.

.

Someone explain to me (and others) why bidding went so high on this car please?

That’s a great thing to do, but why the hell did the bidding climb so high?

Serious question: While I think this is a nice story,the real story is,why would a bunch of people bid that high on a (very) well used Charger to begin with? My mom was a police officer,and she would tell me stories of how much those things were used and abused. Hell,I played a police officer in a Will Smith movie…

Where? I restored an entire Mustang without ever finding evidence that Ford would back up any aftermarket parts with a warranty, and without Ford ever enabling me to purchase parts directly from them, like I can with Porsche: http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessorie…

I can see how it seemed vague. As the owner of a ‘67 Mustang and ‘89 944, let me clear up the differences. When I want something for the Mustang, I can go to CJ Pony Parts, Summit Racing, NPD, or wherever, and get Ford licensed parts. That license doesn’t necessarily indicate quality, however, and it definitely…

well thats an inherent feature of the car. even a 991 C2S is the same way lol

This isn’t true. Dynacorn will sell you a 1965 body, which is licensed by Ford, just like lots of other aftermarket products. This article is about OEM equipment being offered 40 years later. Huge difference. Most people I know who have used Dynacorn products absolutely hate them. Ford, or any manufacturer, would…

This is far, far from the same thing. It’s just aftermarket like anything else. This article is describing an actual Porsche product.

Exactly. I figured he was talking about Dynacorn, although I didn’t know they were doing ‘65s. Last I checked, they were only doing ‘67 fastbacks. Dynacorn has gotten some pretty shoddy reviews from those who I have talked to. Being licensed is a far cry from OEM, which is what is being described in this article.

theyre not though. I guarantee it. I had a Lingenfelter C4 about 10 years ago and buying parts from MidAmerica was always a crap shoot. Eg, I bought a right fender for the car because when I first bought the car the fiberglass was cracked. the MidA piece was 99% right but that 1% is all it takes to make it almost…

Not OEM. Ford "Licensed" and not sold by Ford. Dynacorn does the bodies and they are OK, but not exact. You can purchase new 55-57 Chevy shells as well and even a first generation Bronco body. They are "original" only if your classic American car was originally built in Taiwan.

The gold standard for an aftermarket replacement dashboard for this vintage 911 is from Stoddard. It’ll run you $1500. US pricing for the Porsche Classic one is $1353.

Am I crazy or is Porsche actually not ripping you off with this option?

Jesus, each of these stories should have ended with a scalding bowl of soup to the dick for the men involved.
