I have it was about March 20th , 2020....... should have bought a lot of them then.I knew the facts and I stated them. You didn't like it, but it is the truth. It's okay market is cooling--it's not just R trust me.
I've never watched a Mecum auction with so many 'And the bid goes on'...that is a tell on the market in general. Period. Just like if you watched Pebble last year and it was insane...in a crazy way.
For the fun of it today I check pricing on a new R frame just in case it needs one which I doubt but wanted worst case scenario. The raptor R frames are avail in only a couple days time for not as much money as one might think. So if it indeed needed one it would be a fun fix can take them apart with my eyes closed . .Man you did a heell of a nice job on that 66 F100 . I think that wrecked R is right up you alley . I would love to see that drivetrain in my 19 SCAB
Since I did years with a major insurance carrier it would not matter if they paid a bunch of ADM. Any search on value by insurance company would come up with the highest ASKING prices and one would surely do better than what one paid. Just point out price like the 199k. I would guess any R wrecked would have Insurance value of 180k minimum.What’s the threshold now for insurance to total it? If they paid an ADM that would be a bitter pill to swallow.
Just don’t do Mecum.I wish you luck and if you win, can’t wait to see what you do with it. Your ‘66 is clean….
Based on your track record and the truck you sold, I literally believe 100% of this.For the fun of it today I check pricing on a new R frame just in case it needs one which I doubt but wanted worst case scenario.

But, In my case I would just used the complete drivetrain and full electronics using a 1966 BIG truck Cab. Make it a bunch lighter tweak it to 1000hp plus then go kick sand on a few TRX's. It would raise the towing capacity a bunch along with load capacity. Not worry about dents dings or scratches..
