How much did the Tuttles (American Chopper) two Elenores bring at BJ? Foose?
 
Anyone know. I can't remember the lot number.

The whole deal was sorta lame. From what I understand they were each given a car and then turn around and sell them.

The sad part is Paul Sr's only had 17 miles on it.. He didn't even drive the damn think.. Jr's didn't have much more on it. Sort of an insult to Unique Performance. Anyways, who knows what they went for?

Oh, and what did the Foose Challenger go for?

$205K and $215K if memory serves. The car bike combos did not do well at all. but since the cars were probably traded for show time, I guess $400K ain't bad

Jr's Eleanor, lot 1318, $247,500

Sr's Eleanor, lot 1317, $231,000

Foose/Unique Challenger #1320.4 sold for $345,000

What did the Overhaulin Charger that they did at Sema sell for I can't find the result.

I saw that in the consignment area. I don't think it went across the auction, not that I saw anyways.

Can someone tell me the hole idea of "american chopper" they show it here too but people just laugh at em mostly.Do people really dig these guys and bikes in there(us) or is it just cool joke ? And if Unique really gave those beautifull cars away (for payment!?!) for those ridiculous bikes that makes me wonder at some is really paying +100k of them..?? I just dont get it.

I'm guessing it was partly in trade for the bike, and in part for all the advertising they got for being on the TV show. That's why all those companies want to have theme bikes built. They get 1 or 2 hours of primetime TV coverage.

See, to me that's crazy.. for $190k more you could have bought the Cuda.. a car 5 times nicer and a 1 of 1...

Evidently somebody likes them as they have gone from a basement 5 years ago, to a multi-million dollar facility they have either just finished, or in process of finishing. Paul sr. was already doing well for himself with his steel construction business he had which is still family owned.
