Car is a little specific as others have said but definitely nice and has good parts. Here’s some additional pics from when I saw it at the 2010 Des Moines GoodGuys. Smart move to clean up some of the original punisher theme before resale.

Best of luck to you!

How long has your car been on the market?

I seem to recall it being on RK's website for a long time. Did you buy it from them, or were you trying to have them sell it?

I actually traded my 41 Willys straight across for the Camaro. My Willys is still on there site. RK took all the Punisher logos off the body along with the strips on the hood to make it a cleaner look. I am on the fence about selling it. I have not tried any other place to sell it and its not currently on the marker. My intent was to build another car of my own. The orginal builder/owner put tons of money into the car with everything he did. The bottom is just as nice as the top fully polished and painted. Car is a blast to drive (my first hotrod with a manual) and rides great. I wanted to build another 69 with RS chassis and ls7 but I don't know if i can afford it.

I have the Nova consigned at Russo Steele in January, it is a smaller auction for sure. Hoping the car actually gets more attention than being lost in the crowd?? also I have set a reserve on the car, there is NO WAY I am putting my car up to sell to the LOWEST bidder, not going to happen I will keep it if that is the case, I don't have to sell it. and i also don't have the bank roll like say a guy who would sell the MUEL at no reserve.
i plan on standing there for a couple days to boost the interest, I figure i can make more in 2 days promoting the car than I can sitting here posting about it.
The Nova has some history which may help??? it is a proven car, maybe that matters maybe it doesn't
it's a crap shoot no mater what.

I'm selling the Mule at no reserve because I have a good auction time at Barrett. We all think our cars are worth x amount. It is usually more than they are actually worth. Barrett does a great job of bringing the buyers. I don't think there is anywhere else that will bring more money for my car. It is not going to be worth more than the high bid so no reserve is the way to go in my mind. The Camaro in this thread has a good time slot so in my opinion it is going to bring all it is really worth at the least. I would not be surprised if his Camaro doesn't bring more than the Mule. The trendy type looking cars seem to do quite well at Barrett-Jackson. The Mule doesn't have alot of flash compared to it.

Two years ago at Russo and Steele I help to sell a couple of cars. This car was parked two slots away from one of the cars I was helping with and the owners\builder of that car were there all day every day...trying to sell the car as much as they could before it rolled across the block.

They were nervous too, it was a beautiful car, very well built, but specialized for sure. I can't remember what it sold for exactly, 125-150k IIRC, and they were somewhat pleased what it bid up to and sold for...but they worked it HARD for 3-4 days before it rolled through Saturday evening.

Actually, I found the results, it sold for $137,500...no reserve...

We did too...and the two cars we sold also brought right up to book value and sold to guys that we had personally worked on in the prior days. That is CRUCIAL.

My partner is taking his ZL1 powered vette to BJ this January and plans to do the same with it, sell it long before it crosses the block. It's a special car...something that a decision to buy can't be made in the 5 minutes or so the car is on the block (much like the one this thread is about).

The one backup you have selling it at a no reserve auction is...you can always be the high bidder. It'll cost you some commissions on both sides, but at least you aren't totally pants down going in.

I agree totally, 69 Camaro pt cars do well at b-j. they did last year when I was there and you got a killer time slot. My father in law had ls9 chevy ii that we took out there 2 years ago. Because everything always runs behind it was late Saturday nite before it went off. There was literally no one there to bid except people looking for a deal. He had $250 in it and it hammered for 142500 before buyers premium, he netted around 129K. Prolly cost him some $$$ with the late slot. So yea 50cent on the dollar is about right.

I remember that Mustang. It also sold the following year at BJ.

Which unfortunately is the whole point to the Mule and is probably lost on most of the flower shirt wearing crowd at BJ.
I really hope you do well. I hope somebody buys it that will drive it like you did. But as you just said, you're gonna have a good time regardless!
