- It's a '74 DK41U4D****** but that's a '75 bumper ...

Someone call a tailor, I need some new shorts!
It seems like there was a bid placed, but when I called the guy said to check in tomorrow to see if the bid gets approved or not. If I snag this car, my Super 440 will finally have a home!

I sure hope you take this one home, I saw it with like 3hrs left and wasn't in a position to do anything. Looks like a heck of a find.

I have kin in Fresno but not a Coparts expert so I was beating on buttons and getting nothing. Man, get this car. I would have. Phish

[flcl64]

Looks like it sold. I hope someone here got it. I didn't even know about the auction until after it ended, but I'll keep my eyes peeled now.

She's out of my league... Price jumped up to $3,000 and no one's even bid yet. Coparts also apparently doesn't sell to the public without a buyer's license, business license, or a broker. They do provide contacts to brokers, brokering fees separate, but I'm but a simpleton and it's too complicated for me...

- Bidding is happening and will continue until 3PM EDT tomorrow by the looks of it ...





The snipers will be out tomorrow. So last week someone almost had this car for less than $1,000 ?? Jesus H. tap dancing Christ, eh lads, she'll be going a lot higher this time around. "Primary Damage: MECHANICAL" whatever that means. "Engine Type: No" whatever that means. Doesn't run?

I knew it was too good to be true. I called and they said no one's bid, but the seller raised the starting bid. I kinda hope the guy realizes no one will buy it for that, then drop the price way down just to get rid of it. In the meantime, I might have a family friend with the proper 'buying license' so i'll keep my chin up.

Bet that car is going to South Carolina as soon as the trust is in place. Unless it has a rod hanging out of it, it will run. Those motors are like an anvil. I would make a Bluesmobile out of it just to PO that C body bunch. Oh well back to the Space Force.....Phish

$5,900, this time to a buyer in Poland. My god. Good reminder to buy up each and every '74 I come across.

[spyphish]

I actually got registered to bid and had a friend go look at it. It would need some metal work and I am too old. No clue on motor. BUT I just finished the clone and it will always be a clone and have been driving it all week. Has new tires but they are wearing FAST. VIN is only tattle-tail. My race wrench Jeremy talked me out of buying it as they are stacking up. Somebody needs to buy the running real NM 77K code below for $10k. If the Cal car was 6, my goodness....

- Poland already has a Blumo ... chciwe bękarty !!

But yeah there's at least one nice Blumo in Poland which was purchased from Alberta, Canada in 2011 I do believe. Here's a cool shot of it ...




-----

The $5,900 doesn't overly surprise me for this auction car. There doesn't appear to be much damage and that interior is kinda like a time capsule. Plus just how friggin' rare is it to see an actual 1974 K-code for sale?! Although it's been a bizarre month with the two 75's and this '74, amazing really. 







I was actually watching it online this aft., Oregon, Poland, Oregon, Poland, Oregon, Poland, Oregon, Poland. I don't think I saw a 3rd bidder at all. Blumo, cop car, fire chief, or taxi doesn't matter a whole bunch to me personally, it's another one saved. Congrats to the buyer !
