Re: [Chrysler300] Bill Korbel's 300G at Russo Steele





A non-reserve car is only worth what the bidders at the auction are willing to pay.  It could be that there were only two potential bidders, and one of them wasn't that interested in the car.  Had there been 5 active bidders, it might have gone a lot higher.  It does, however, point out the risk in putting your car up for auction without a reserve price.

Is this indicative of a slumping car market ? This was a #1 car. Hagerty website says that a #1 300G is worth about 95K.

I just went onto the web site of the auctioneer that sold the car in Monterey, CA. It sold for $60,600. There was no reserve on the car at auction.

That award was a crowning moment for Billy.  I can still picture the big beaming smile on his face as the award was announced.  He was just thrilled.  Little did we know that he would not be around all that much longer.  Glad to have known him and also his father who attended many meets many years ago.

The Russo-Steele site shows the VIN for the car is 8413 159853.  That was Billy Korbel's "Lady G" which took all kinds of prizes at the Lake George meet in 2011.  Billy died shortly after the meet.  His sister said she had never seen him any happier than he was that night.  Everyone at the meet was pretty pleased about it too. 
 
Billy joined the club in 1985. I think he bought the G shortly thereafter and had it fitted with hand controls.  Somewhere there's a photograph of Billy, in his wheelchair, with his feather duster tending to his "Lady G."
 
I hope the next owner cares for it as much as he did.
300ly,
