I think the car and story is interesting

I saw/heard Sprngsteen 30 years ago and liked
his OLD music alot.

Please explain to me why this car should be worth
$400-$500 K........What would be the obsession??
Or is it just beyond words, beyond comprehension ?

Chuck...with you there! I love the old Bruce 1975 days a ton but that car is living off his name 100%

Imagine the car or house you could build for that much $$$$$$$

Love Bruce but really??

Some folks just crave celebrity owned vehicles. Personally, I wouldn't pay any extra for a celebrity owned car. It would be different if the car itself had some historical significance.

I remember Jackie O's BMW selling for more than 10x normal market value about 15 years ago. I had a similar car, except mine was a 73 4 speed with the little bumbers; hers a 74 auto with the giant federal bumpers. I believe it has since been repainted from the original fjord blue to a turqouise color. I am sure it comes up on the market from time to time. Just cuz a celebrity owned one of these cars won't make it any faster, more fun to drive or cheaper to maintain. Just costs more.

I'd pay. But I'm a huge Springsteen fan so I am biased. Me and the Boss Bel Air in 2010 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (oh and number 2 and number 4 from this eBay seller's list in his description are complete [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

I think it's because alone,they're both a great piece of Americana by themselves.Together they align &amp; can bring others to pay that kind of money.
This particular type of car,plus Bruce owning it = transcends the norm.
If Bruce owned a yellow Triumph TR7 back then instead and it had a pencil in the glovebox with his teeth marks on it,it wouldn't get 1/5th this price.
..are you listening Jon Voight.
