    Why so high ? My thought is two bidders/egos who had to have it. Remember the Ferrari guy at Barrett Jackson Phoenix back in 2006 of so ? I don't remember who he was against (maybe a phone bidder) but the two of them just lost their minds.

    I looked back at the auction, the car was at $12,755 at noon yesterday and you are correct, 2 bidders (with an outlier bid thrown in the middle) took it from $18k to 55K over the last 15 min +/ -

    That is the definition of crazy when that kind of emotion overrules that lack of sense.

    It's the fact that they have more money than brains or common sense.

    Lovely cars, but I have to say that person has more money than sense.

    I saw this when it first came up on BAT and thought: who the heck buys an RX-7 in 1979 and doesn't drive it? (Selling dealer bought it in 1996 and kept it in storage since then, so 4,100 miles in 17 years still seems crazy.)

    Buyer has a car museum (the Malamut Auto Museum), so I can possibly see spending 56k on a first gen, first year of production RX-7 if I stretch my brain hard enough. But 56k isn't something I could afford, that's for sure. :eek:

    Museum or not, that's still a crazy amount of money for that car.
    To each their own.

    I would love to see that guys tax filing. Sure the cars are titled into some type of LLC or S Corp that’s coming off of some type of acquisition ledger, as cost of doing business. A mere mortal would not pay $56,000 for that Mazda. Can hardly wait to see the toilets crawl out from under the rocks for a buy it now of $34,000.
