https://www.bitpremier.com/items/view/222

So he put this on BitPremier and raise his ask from $275k to $290k (assumes $15k fee for BitPremier) and him getting $275k.  Therefore BitPremier is getting about 5% commission on sales, actually a bit less than I would have thought.

Damn nice car but double of what I would even consider it for.


Unfortunatly you would be lucky to get a project Boss 429 for 1/2 of my asking price

And at the current declining value of Bitcoin it will take 453 of them to buy it,not the 400 asked when I first posted the sale.

If you look at auction results a sound example of that particular model will go for well over $200,000 all day long. It should be priced as the USD equivalent in Bitcoin. No one's going to hand over extra coins.

In addition to Bitcoin being an immature currency, I'd say that judging by a fair few comments on the forums its holders may not have fully reached maturity themselves. I guess everyone on here is conditioned to (justifiably) think SCAM unless proven otherwise.

List it on Bitpremier or try somewhere like Jamesedition.





Thank you for your post !
I have contacted Bitpremier and will list there

Diversify !!
Absolutly,a wise man once told me he bought a collector car because it was more fun to drive his portfolio than look at a bank statement.

And,God forbid we were nuked but unless you are the lone Ranger and have silver bullets I think lead will be a hot commodity.
Unless of course you can melt down bitcoins to make bullets.
Oh wait.bitcoins are only a string of numbers oops

Astute coin collectors know what they are looking at.
And that shiny new 1oz blob while having a spot price will never be worth what a rare coin would be.
Even geeks should realize that.

It seems as though the masses here find it difficult to do even the basic research before making inane comments.

how do the numbers match when the engine is not stock?
Worth about $30k.   Try Gas Monkey garage, maybe you will get $40k if you can entertain them and sign the waiver to be on the show.

Simply means that the car Vin number matches the same Vin number that Ford stamped the block with,hence numbers matching.
And ,if you even had a clue as to the value of Boss 429's even in the worst condition they bring over 6 figures all the time.
Do a little research before you swallow your foot.

Is it all original?

While it is a numbers matching car some of the original parts like the smog system were removed in the early 70's in search of more power.
This Boss was built to be driven and has some tasteful modifications for enhanced performance and safety.
If it was 100% stock the asking price would be around 500 bitcoins.
Raven Black Boss 429's are more highly valued than other colors and several have exceeded $500K at auction
Here's a peek under the hood.

While the idea of buying and selling using bitcoins and eliminating "banks" is appealing it seems as though a great many posts point to the fact that it isn't exactly that way.
Scam,trust,and escrow are some of the major points brought up.
I signed on to these forums looking to gain an outlet to market a rare Muscle Car.
Yet it seemed,at least on the "newbie" board ,that there was a great deal of mistrust just because I offered a big ticket item.
Not quite sure why as in order to sell a vehicle ,rare or otherwise,a clear title would need transfered  and no buyer that I can think of would make such a purchase without physically inspecting said vehicle and going through the legal transfer steps.
Nor would any seller not seek to verify funds no matter what form they were in.
That being said,what is the advantage to using bitcoins ?

Here is the vehicle offered at 400 bitcoins
A 1969 Boss 429 Mustang that I have owned since new
One of only 899 ever produced in 1969
Rare,and quite frankly the Holy Grail of Mustangs to astute collectors
The ask of 400 bitcoins may seem high to some but I contend that the volitility of the bitcoin price is a major factor and were I convinced that from the time of sale to time of conversion of bitcoin to cash the price would remain stable I would negotiate a lesser amount.
Value in US Dollars is around $275,000.00 which is at todays rate around 305 bitcoins.Convince me and make a deal.

11  Economy / Trading Discussion / WOW,I guess I'm not a newbi anymore so I have a question on: January 13, 2014, 12:26:37 AM
I admit to being a total ludite regarding the Bitcoin
But,not wanting to be left in the dust should they be the game changer predicted I need to fully understand the mechanics of selling goods and services using Bitcoins for payment.
And,subsequently converting them to other currency or legal tender.
Where do I begin?
Thanks in advance for your assistence

Hey gweedo

Your all class,low but all class

How am I low class? I am not the one trying to rip people off with a car that you probably don't own.

I suspect I can prove ownership of my car much faster than you can prove ownership of a Bitcoin

First off never insult the person that has what you want. Second I will not prove ownership of any coins because I am not looking to buy your car, so it would not be wise for me to compromise my privacy for something I don't want.

Just for the record gweed,
You started by insulting all owners of Muscle Cars by calling them stupid.hence you insulted me as I own one.
Insomuch as you have expressed your distain for Muscle cars as well as their owners I rightfully assumed you never had an interest anyway.

That being said why waste your time and the forums time with your inane banter
Good day

I like the car and I bet it sounds great, but it's not worth what you're asking in BTC.

Hey gweedo

Your all class,low but all class

And I don't know what that means lol.

You may be right about it's value in Bitcoins,but considering the wild price swings of this wonder currency it could be low by the time a transfer to cash is able to be made.
That would require me to hold the BTC's until hopefully they go up.
I admit I'm a newcomer to the bitcoin thing but reading this forum and all the info about coins other other than BTC keeps me hesitant about accepting them at all.
As more big ticket items are sold using this currency I'm sure confidence will go up

But the opposite is true. Those Bitcoins could be worth millions later in the year or sometime in the future.


Could be true,but without widespread acceptance and demand I find it unlikely.I'm sure they will have their ups and downs but millions is rather optimistic

Looks like nobody has a spare 400 bitcoins laying around to invest so how about converting some of those to cash and getting this beauty for $275,000.00
Here's a peek under the hood !
19  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: For sale: Rare Muscle car 400 Bitcoins on: January 11, 2014, 12:18:16 AM

You come up with 300 verified bitcoins and it's yours
20  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: For sale: Rare Muscle car 400 Bitcoins on: January 10, 2014, 07:51:49 PM
400BTC = $200k US at the lowest value in the last month. I do know enough about cars to know that the one you're trying to sell is not worth anywhere near that.
Barrett Jackson sold one for $275k http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=5048&aid=466

This dealership was asking $160k. http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/sales/inventory/sold/1969-Ford-Mustang/132894#!/

So assuming yours is show car quality, you're still 40-60% over priced.

The one at the dealer was a clone,not an original Boss 429,and the Barrett jackson car was over a year ago.
They aren't going down in value.
And,I did point out the volatile nature of this new wonder currency.
To someone who got their bitcoins when they were under 100 this may seem a bargain
