TONS of pictures. This ad would be an excellent resource for anyone wanting to make a replica.

 Someone on here needs to get that. @neohic. It’s nice to be able to see nice photos of that truck.

Hmm… this is opportunity #3 to have a shot at this truck for me. 

[Pete M]

it's only going to get more expensive each time.

Seems to be the reason I’ve passed on it before. Good to see it available again. This is the only known remaining SCCA Comanche that’s not in a private collection.

I think I just found @Pete M's Colorado Red flares he's been looking for. lol

Dang -- it's in MY state! And I need a new boiler and a new roof on the hovel.

 

Timing couldn't be worse. I would SOOOOOO love to have that.

I'm out of room in the garage, but this would look soooooo sweet next to the Walker truck 🤪

Has anyone else kept an eye on this all week also? I haven’t closed the window since the auction started and it’s getting down to the end. Just got to $7k… long way from where I think it should be. 

[Pete M]

the land speed record MJ only sold for 8k or so, but that was many years ago. 

[gogmorgo]

It's definitely been making me think twice about never being able to afford it. It's surprising considering what used car prices are right now, but I guess the auction isn't over yet.

[neohic]

Sold for $15k. Hopefully that’ll calm down the used market for somewhat low mileage trucks in similar condition. Well bought, I think.

[Pete M]

worth every penny and then some

i was watching it closely as i was gonna bid but it quickly got out of my range at the end lol

[89 MJ]

For what it really is, I honestly think that was a fair buy. The truck would be hard to use as a truck anymore and wouldn’t be a terribly quick rig around a track, so it isn’t terribly useable. I think it would be an absolute blast to drive at an auto cross style event, but I don’t think it would be really useable for much else. It does have the fact that it is a part of Jeep racing history going for it though, and if I would’ve had the money, I would have bought it.

Somebody got an awesome truck for a fair price. I hope we can follow it as it gets back on the track!

Race cars don't really sell very well as people want vehicles that can be used on the street typically.  I'm a fairly active BaT user, I was actually the first person to auction a Comanche on the site.  Consistently, the more modified from stock a vehicle is, the less it is typically worth.  

 

I think this one sold pretty well, definitely would have considered it if I wasn't working on building a house.  I really want to autocross my Comanche, this would have been the perfect one for that.

15k huh; Anybody else catch that the rims on the rear weren't period correct?

Good eye. I missed that detail.

Someone should download all those pictures to the site before the ad listing expires. As said, those are a great resource for a replica or tribute vehicle build. I was really suprised by the rear mono leaf setup, The billet rear sway bar mounts, and what appears to be a mostly stock TBI 2.5. Love it.

It is in the registry with some of the pictures but not all 200 of them.
