Anyone watch Barrett Jackson and catch the black 57 retractable ...came right after that crazy Bat Mobile ? I almost fell off my chair as the 57 went for 300k . Great looking car but isn't that a bit over the top? Or not ?

T...probably was over the top a bit, but when several wealthy people want the same thing....
That said, it was totally the F code designation that got it there. I didn't see the car, but my guess would be the incredible restoration the car received never would have happened, at least to that extent if it weren't an f code. Somebody posted earlier there were only 20 F code retractables made, and this one was loaded with all the other factory options as well.
Welcome to the forumn, btw
Does anyone know if the engine was original with all the original heads, intake, carb etc? Also had dealer installed dress up items, V-bar with wing guards, hockeys and rockers, T-Bird wheel covers, twin spotlights, looks like correct continental kit and exhaust deflectors.
But on second thought maybe some items were ordered with car?
