Bruce Willis Muscle Cars For Sale

Interesting photo. Either Bruce is majorly pissed about something the photographer said or did (see: Winston Churchill Karsh), or he’s finally perfected the art of looking like a something other than an endlessly pampered, egomaniacal movie star. Anyway, his timing for this sale sucks. Anyone who clings to the belief that prices for vintage muscle cars will defy the gravity of the stock market is seriously deluded. By the time this deal goes down– Saturday, October 25 at Bonham’s in LA— the muscle car market will have tanked. Are there enough “crotch sniffers” (nice one Stephan) who’d pay a premium to own a muscle car owned by a man famous for saying “Yippie ki-yay, motherfucker”? I doubt it. It’s one thing to own an example of the breed purchased by Steve McQueen (or similar) back in the day. It’s another to own a muscle car bought by a celebrity who uses it to pose like a tough guy, even though the toughest thing about him is his agent.

Bozoer Rebbe, it absolutely gets a bounce in price, but that doesn't mean it's valid, Among the Barrett-Jackson crowd, they'll go crazy for a Dean Martin car or an Elvis Presley Cadillac (of which there are maybe a claimed 20 "real ones" out there). Among the RM, Russo & Steele, Goodings, Sotheby bidders etc. just an anmused chuckle. Reggie Jackson was just a rich amateur, which has turned out to be worth a buck two ninety-eight. Steve McQueen walked the walk, which has proved to be worth millions in both his Ferrari sold last year and his 911 Turbo this year.

Golden2husky Tuscadero? Wonder if the interior comes in Leather...
Lou_BC I don't like black. I wouldn't want white because that's your standard fleet colour. I lean towards colour's that are less likely to show scratches and dings. The blue on my ZR2 is nice colour but a bad colour for showing up trail rash and dust. It wasn't my 1st choice but at the time it was the only truck I could find at a price I was willing to pay.
Michael I don’t have the luxury of choosing the color of my car and even people in my life who have recently purchased relatively expensive new cars are having their choice of what local dealers have or what they’re getting in soon, shades of grey and white. If I had the choice I would have gone with color when I was younger but now would choose a silver, grey, or black. Whatever looked best on the model.
CoastieLenn That price seems a bit high for a high mileage mid-tier Accord, especially a coupe whose resale is typically lower than the stalwart sedan. I do like this generation coupe a lot though.
La3541 Red is my go-to color. I love candy-apple red (guards red on Porsche). I have had several red cars. Maroon is not good though.I have always loved British racing green and recently got my first one. A British racing green 4-series that I had to special-order.Silver, black, gray, and white are pretty boring. However, as RNA656.. stated, white looks good on some cars. for more boring colors, I also like chalk on porsches. Nardo gray on Audis is pretty nice.
