I wonder if someone is just flipping it or if the new owners were disappointed with it? Great looking car with a cool story-eager to get a look at it here on the east coast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Same photos. My guess is that the buyer was unable/unwilling to consummate the deal and RM is re-running it at Hershey to find a new buyer. That car is surely rougher than it looks in photos and they had to know that disappointment was going to be the primary emotion a new owner felt. This isn't a surprise to the auction guys and I guarantee it happens quite a bit. Knowing what I now now about V12 Lincolns of this vintage, I would be skittish about buying one in that condition, regardless of price. I'd say that even if it sells for the "bargain" price of $25,000, you're still only halfway towards having a car you can actually use on tour, previous auction description notwithstanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverton_ford Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Sold for $33,000. Still seems low. I saw it in person. Great original car. https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/hf19/hershey/lots/r0007-1934-lincoln-model-ka-four-door-sedan/751383 Edited October 21, 2019 by silverton_ford (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 You will note they pushed it onto the auction block. That car doesn't run. There's a reason it's back and why it's cheap, and it isn't because everyone overlooked a great car and the previous buyer was pleased with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there's an insult in there. Care to elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
