$249,000? Why?

$249,000 - quite a huge price. They are expensive things for rich people to buy.

IF you can't figure out why, your not too bright.

The only thing that car has going for it, is that it still has the original engine and transmission.

Indeed. Another interesting fact is that $249,000 is 249 times more than $1000.

Needs another 60 k to restore a nice car but unless you have money to burn not worth it

if i had the cash this would be the ultimate car for any car collection the history behind this car is amazing

Yeah I'm not

drream car.

wtf he didn't go to the moon with it

pennies for car collectors

You'd be buying some major history right there!

You just responded to a bot.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i'm sure Neil Armstrong has owned 50 cars - is there any evidence that Neil Armstrong owned anything besides his spacesuit is worth big money?

doubt it

$40,000 for the car and $210,000 because Neil Armstrong was loaned it by a garage for few months 45 years ago?

I must be not too bright as well :(

I await the next book in the saga when Serge Storms steals this car.

I love how the guy says that he tried for 30 years to buy the car and as soon as he was given the chance he is trying to flip it for a profit.

yay. cool.

Hm, not even restored.

:1orglaugh I was looking to find that in the article to explain the price

He drove the car to the Hollywood studio where the moon landing was filmed. Duh!

.

It's not the rocket he took to the moon. I don't see why it has any extra value.

Says the guy who doesn't know the difference between you're and your.

Not Hollywood, Downey:2 cents:

My not to bright what? I don't understand? What about my "not too bright"?

:Oh crap:Oh crap

Value is all relative

Looks like the auction ended with a bid of $250K and it didn't meet the reserve. I wonder what the reserve on it is.

ridiculous:2 cents:

Yeah, me neither. Nice car, but a quarter of a million and STILL didn't meet reserve. Fuck that.

The car was owned by Neil Armstrong, the first person to ever set foot on the moon. This is one of the most important events in history for both the US and the world in the past 100 years. Combine this with the fact that it rolls into history of the US space program and Chevrolet history with the US astronaut... Make's it's value worth much more than the average car.

In simple terms, if you can't figure this out, your not too bright.
