I wanted to keep this separate from the "JFK Pontiac ambulance up for auction" post so we don't convolute the thread that now primarily deals with the history and research, but I'm curious, as professional car owners and enthusiasts, what do you think will happen if the Barrett-Jackson ambulance gets sold?
Now that we know it's not the real JFK ambulance, my thoughts are that it will never get the projected $1M+ they thought it may, but I think someone is going to pay a lot of money for a good replica anyway. I think anyone that may have been ready to sink six or seven figures into the car has now likely heard and read enough to know what's actually going on, so those bidders are backing out. But what about the JFK historians, collectors, and museums? Think they will end up bidding on the car just to have a replica of the original? When an original is gone for good, it's the next best thing.
I think there will be enough people that want it as a replica, that the selling price will probably double the valued price. Just an uneducated guess, but I think it's going to sell for $50-60K....
What do you think?
