          The 35 Chief was nice, but some wrong parts, can somebody explain why the sold price was $187,000 or am I missing some thing.

            Bob, who knows, Mecum is a finicky auction, where anything is possible~and probably will. Beautiful restoration tho'. Maybe for the same reason as the $313,500 prototype Honda?

              Did I see an orange overchromed 40’s chief go for 21k?

                I made it 1782 bikes over the auction block in five days, with about 10% unsold, or 'the bid goes on'. Most of the Chiefs went around $25k, with most of the late knuckles under $50k. A 2003 Arlen Ness custom went for $16.5k and the undocumented board trackers sold for about what they cost to build. That 44E was unsold at $52k, a 45EL was unsold at $35k and a 46EL unsold at $35k, so it looks like the buyers are become more selective or taking good advice.The 1934 CAC made $203k but the 1934 Crocker speedway was unsold at $115k. All the Vincents sold for decent money and the one 1938 Brough SS-80 went for $66k. A 1924 Henderson 4 was unsold at $55k and the one Henderson KJ sold for $79k. There were five Captain America replicas. Two Super-X bikes went for $52k and $60k. Two MV Augustas were unsold. Most of the Triumphs went $7-9k and there were several Ariel Square 4s under $10k. Two Honda CBX models made $15k and $26k. The 1914 Jefferson fetched $66k but the 1907 Curtiss was unsold at $150k. Go figure. With a five day auction it depends who is in the room and for sure there were some bargains to be had. Download the results from mecum.com and spend half a day playing 'might have been' like I did.

                  Very good summary Steve. Then there was the 35 Chief that sold for $187k with buyer premium. Guess there were a couple people who really wanted it. I thought Jap bikes did really well overall. Crazy what those Honda CT70s, XR-75s and SL series bikes sold for.

                    Most of the Knuckle bikes were full of re pop parts. The blue 37 was the best of the lot with a no sale at 100k. It had 46 rocker boxes on it.
                    The 44E had some fake patina on it that you can not really see on line. To me that is a red flag for sure.

                      Just back from Vegas..Missed the 35 Chief by only about 130 grand The 35 was the talk of my area..Many said it had many repop parts and a wrong oil pump..Maybe a dozen 35 Chiefs will be there next year??? Make it if you can ,as it's a great social event and the biggest bike show anywhere. My sons and I had fun....BUT BUT it was a nice bike PS won a grand total of $4..gambling

                        Well done Ross. I'm still 55 cents ahead from a 1979 visit to the International Coal Show in Las Vegas. That was three plums on the nickel fruit machine at McCarran International Airport on the way out. I decided to quit gambling then while I was still ahead. I'm guessing there are not a lot of nickel slots out there today.

                          There is no fun in motorcycling if it is determined by the size of your wallet.

                            Knuck, sounds like you didn’t get the knuckle you were looking for. Sorry to hear. I watched a lot of it on YouTube and thought knuckle prices were way down. ASUMED it was due to the bike not being original but hard to tell in a 60 second video feed. Glad to hear from you that it was due to repop parts.

                              No I didn't but with some insight from others around me that I trust it was better not to spend 50+ k on a less than bike. The blue 47 bike had aftermarket fenders and panhead tanks. Repop rear lamp. The other Knuckles in the 30k range were really lacking better to just skip it. After all that said I got a lead on a possible good bike so it really pays to go to these events to confirm and verify condition, not to mention making contacts. I did end up buying a 1970 XR 750.
