Auction results, AMX3, Tucker #44


$891,000.

When they went publicity crazy in December to hype this car, I posted the story about it. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/12/at-auction-next-month-recent-best-in.html

Another AMX 3, a red one, went for about the same price a couple years ago... so, that's the going rate for a Bizzarini/BMW/AMX concept car - prototype.


$1,347,500

Not bad for pulling it out of long term storage because it was never in good enough condition to run reliably.... but when #43 went for about 3 million, well, that was all it took for Tucker owners to loosen their grip on the cars they never drove anyway, and it was flatbedded around for publicity the 2nd half of last year.
