Fake window sticker, does not even match the fender tag details.

When I saw it has Gauges that was it for me.... Very rare option for that year.

No picture of the fender tag? WTF.

At $25 the AMT/ERTL model is a better deal.

I wonder if the estimated value is based off the rust stain sitting behind that Center cap? I am unsure who the real guru of this Abody is on the board but I bet they can pick it apart... It rubs me wrong because it just sends owners to la la land thinking they can retire off their 2 door sedan....

Meh. Lousy 2 1/2 watt AM. I'd like to see the upscale search-tune AM or an AM/FM. 
Dang looks like I don't have to increase my insurance.
$50k is wishful thinking, clearly not an original correct car, based on the above posts. I'm sure many people would like to see it bring big $$, and maybe it will.
Depends on which bidder got too many free beers!

Ok, I was able to get a photo of the tag. The paint is heavy on it so look good. It's nothing like you may have thought. A real E55 340 car but NOT a factory V24 car nor a factory 4-speed car. It is in fact a real FE5 car with V5X body side moldings and L1XX black/white bench seating. I hope the owner didn't get his hopes up to much with MECUM's totally incorrect value!

Mama always said don't drink and bid lol...... I would take my 72 over this one.... Looks like Frankenstein has been wrenching on this one. Good luck to the drunks bidding on it lol...

I would rather it not have a radio at all and not have the big hole butchered up through the fender to put that stupid antennae mast...Meh. Lousy 2 1/2 watt AM. I'd like to see the upscale search-tune AM or an AM/FM.
Does it really matter what they predict it will get? Whenever I watch Mecum the commentators usually don’t have much knowledge of Mopars in general and they usually talk about a Chevy or Ford coming up while the bidding is going on. Sometimes they cut to a commercial as the bidding starts and when they come back a different car is on the block. Same thing that Barrett Jackson does.

I'm all confused the way they twist the wording. It's an all original date coded motor and then it's a numbers matching motor and it ran 13.2 in the quarter mile with the original motor?
I've never heard of an original 340/4spd anything going that fast.
