Can someone explain to me how a car with every option selected, which to my simple mind means more weight, was a street racing legend with a stock engine?
@OoogaBoog bad tires or not, at the end of the day they bamboozled them folks and they bought it 😆. It's a cool car but a street racing legend? Never lol
Easy really.. previous owner exaggerated the Mopars life, if you read about him, and his business, he deals in B.S. thats his job, he got what little information from his dads mates, and created a mystery car, naturally, anyone in his position, would want to get the most when selling a car, he had the perfect opportunity to do so, and he did, advertised it well, with lots of hype.. someone came along, and brought the thing.. problem was, too many believed his story.. 😕😕😕 Now.. to wait and see, if the new owner accepts his scam or not..
@@OoogaBoog When you pit 440hp against 500 600 PLUS hp, doesn't matter if one is 1 to 2 seconds slower, that mopar will get destroyed.. IF.. he dragged against other stock cars, THAT'S where he stood a chance.. 😀😀
I JUST hope he realizes everything that's painfully in the rest of his life. Doesn't begin to cover the disappointment and hatred he has for raising a lying gutless son who is a lying coward .
@@drdab_don’t forget the 67 GTX named the silver bullet. That’s an actual 10 second car that raced on Woodward back when this car allegedly beat everyone.
Someone bought a good story and a nice car. Fast cars back when i was young didn't have options. They were motor transmission and rear end. Like my big block Chevelle.
The son is a movie maker. The son made up a story to create a movie. Some one got took for a lot of money. I'm sure his dad would be pissed how his son deceived the public
Absolutely, uncle tony was saying how he couldn't bring himself to call it bullsh*t and the car looks like its 140k not 40. I bet his father would be pretty upset more about the public deception
@matthewdecker1553 I think you need to get out your feelings and maybe do some research I can't even believe you would think Mecum would, nevermind think what you want free country
@BLACK BLACK look at the car. It's all stock no speed equipment. In one of the pictures of the car sitting in the garage it has wire hub caps. I don't think the ghost story didn't materialize until the son got it .And his buisness is making movies. I think mecum,Hagerty and Dodge all benefited greatly from the story. But if you look at the car it's just not a real street racer.
Sometimes that's not an option. As much as you might want to "pass it down" you just can't say "no" to a ridiculously inflated offer. This is one of those times for sure.
I have spoke with Greg about the car, as he is somewhat local to me, seen him and the car at A swap meet, and Roadkill Nights, truly a beautiful car, but a lot of inside sources have told me the story is fabricated, even cars that weigh the same as this Challenger had motors which made 1/3 more horsepower than this car does, I’m sure it won many races stock for stock, but add a camshaft and porting job to a 383 or 440 charger and this car was in trouble, I have family that drag raced back in the late 70s in around the same area as this Challenger, never heard any legend or story of this car, yes there were stories of cars that couldn’t be beat, but those stories were from the Ramchargers and Chrysler Executives, Ford Powertrain Developers, you name it. Where ever this car is now, GQ is not happy
he could have made generational wealth in licensing "Black Ghost Challenger" Chrysler would have had to pay him to make the tribute car. He missed out on toys, merch, video games, book rights, movie rights etc!! Just imagine Black Ghost in Fast and Furious..smh he doesnt even look happy, he and his wife are just staring blankly at each other shruggin their shoulders. The new owner would be a fool not to license it. Probably only take home 600k after paying taxes. Someone gave him HORRIBLE advice.
ONLY $600,000 after taxes! Basically all the son had invested in the car was the fuel system, the brake system and rebuilding the carbs and a tune up. Even paying someone to do that might be 3 -4,000 dollars. But beyond the profit that he made on his inheritance from his Father. A basically stock Hemi Challenger turned low 14 second 1/4 mile times. Look at the story his son produced. It shows them under the car and it didn't even have headers. The battery is in the front instead of over the rear back tire and it still has the sway bar in front. Those are just 3 modifications even some high school kid would had done to even be slightly competitive on the street against LS-6 454 Chevelles or 428 Mustang Cobra Jets. Much less REAL street racers. The Plymouth Satellite known as the "Silver Bullet" was running 10 second 1/4 mile times on the streets of Detroit from the late 60's to the mid 70's. Detroit in 1970 to 1975 was when this car was supposed to have been "unbeatable". Look at a show on Uncle Tony's Garage where he quickly debunks this car's so called racing history. Uncle Tony worked for many car magazines for years and specialized in Mopars most of his life. He saw this car in person at a car show and pointed this stuff out on his show. He said nothing to the son at the car show because he had just lost his Dad and he didn't want to be disrespectful. But when he saw this car being represented as being unbeatable in it's time and sold for the outrageous amount of money spent for it based on this legend. That's certainly misrepresenting a vehicle. He pointed out, also, that the man's Father had never mentioned any stories of street racing to his son his whole life. The stories came after his Father had passed by old timers that were friends of his Father or had supposedly seen the car raced. Most people know that old timers stories just get bigger and better. They won every fight and never lost a race. No matter how little they trained or how stock the car in question was. Whoever paid almost a million dollars for this worn out old muscle car is about to get a big drop in their assets.
Not really, that car was sold with a story, a reputation, once the real truth comes out about it, and it sinks in with the owner, as to what it really is, he's gonna feel scammed, thats when the sparks are gonna fly.. 🙁🙁
HIS father is dying everyday for the rest of humanity. I hope son and grand son both know everything bad that happens the rest of their lives Dad is up there say make it more painfull for my lying gutless coward offspring.

His dad told him in his death bed don't sell my f car and he sells it this is sad 😢, I guarantee u he will regret his decision in the future, that's my opinion.
I knew of this car back in the early 70s. I even met the owner a couple times because of my connection with different police officers, as well as Street racers in the area. This car was never any great thing on the streets in those days. All of those stories are bullshit. Did he race it a few times, yes but he wasn't some Phantom thing that came out of the woodwork destroyed everything erased against and went back because the car wasn't particularly fast. It was a nice 1970 Hemi Challenger, that's it. And it was never known as any damn black ghost at the time. The only car of any real note back in those days was the Silver Bullet. Strange how does urban legend never began until about 5 or 10 years ago. Cuz it certainly didn't exist back in the day.
The real owner of this car is rolling around in his graving knowing his Son made all this up just to sell it in the long run for the big buck. This 14 second car at 145 thousand miles did not rule the streets of Detroit. Nothing about a Black Ghost was ever said from the real owner, just his son after his Dads death and look up the history of the Son, he is a story teller and that how he makes a living. Also: I would never sell my Dads HEMI Charger, would you. Someone needs to bring the truth out in the light.
I mean…its a nice car but its 1M for a bone stock 70 Challenger? A 14s car isnt becoming a legend of the 70s Detroit street racing scene. Someone got taken for a ride.

Has this thing ever been down a actual drag strip with time slip cards. Watch Uncle Tony Garage he tells the story well just a SCAM. 14 sec car on a good day. Would of faced the Silver Bullett which would of blown it away without trying I hear a movie is in the making, can't hold a good B/S story.
It sold for $170,500 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost LOT T100.1 // INDY 2023 13 Delivery Miles, 1 of 300 Built to Pay Homage to the Historic Challenger Black Ghost
There's no way a 14 second car could have done that, the owner made up the story about street racing. Google him and see what the company he owns does......
@@WestPortAutoCenter this one was loaded with heavy options like ac, power steering etc. heavy version. 14 seconds at best . You need to be in the 10s to rule the streets of Detroit at that time
Time to auction off my grandaddys carousel red 69 Ram Air IV Judge that was known on the streets as “Orange Man Bad”. It’s the fastest 13 second car of all time. Probably the fastest man made object to ever exist. He was undefeated back in the day. Joe Brandon used to ride in the passenger seat when he was a senator. Joe would yell “C’mon man! SHIFT!” so my granddaddy would know when to shift. Cornpop was there too. Gramps used to put $100 bills on the dash before he’d launch it. If Cornpop could grab the money, he got to keep it. He beat Don Garlets rail dragster one time in a super secret unsanctioned street race for pink slips. Mr. Garlets got so mad that he refused to honor his word and didn’t give my granddaddy his car. No one knew of his legendary status as an undefeated street racer back then. He was just a baptist preacher by day who snuck out at night to slay 10 second cars with Jesus as his co-pilot. His GTO was so fast and powerful that he reversed the earths rotation and traveled back in time to save his fallen war buddies in Korea. He was going after Adolf next but he only got 5mpg and wasn’t sure if it could make that trip. A true legend. My reserve is 1 million USD. Let the bidding commence….
Street is different from track.. I don’t care about statistics when multiple people say they remember the car thats it…definitely not world’s fastest car but it was a runner the proof is there respect the black ghost 👻
Absolutely should have sold it!!! After all...... how many times can you really expect to get so much help selling a story that inflates a "reasonable price" by a factor of 6-10x. You can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time.......but let's face it..... this story is out now. Getting $500,000 would be a stretech for a fully restored PERFECT version of this car. To get $975,000 for it in this condition is a once in a lifetime thing. Smart man sells it. Only a fool would keep it.
A 340 Duster could beat this car, and Detroit from ‘70-‘75 would’ve had some really well-built serious street cars. But everyone loves a good story, right?
The Black Hoax. The film maker seller is a marketing genius! Yes he should have sold it - he's not a car guy, but he is one hell of a story teller. Too bad for the buyer, he is fairly well screwed with no chance of getting his money back in his lifetime.
@@blackblack8224😂Oh yes they are. Maybe they’re not generally stupid, but the worlds full of wealthy individuals who are ignorant when it comes to a great number of things. They can indeed make stupid purchases and often do. Every restoration shop I’ve ever been to has at least one example of a stupid purchase that’s up on the lift with piles of money being dumped into it. Its money that will never be recouped. A lot of bidders at Mecum and Barret Jackson aren’t all that savvy. Many are there for impulse buying or jumping on whatever is being hyped.
I've read many stories on this car. The owners son fabricated a fake story to raise the price of this car. The son is a documentary movie producer, does that add to the picture. The tow hitch was there to tow the owners motor cycles around town. It was seen towing the bikes'. The car was seen racing also, but it was only racing 12 to 13 second cars not what it has been portrayed as. The new owner bought a story not a mysterious ghost..
All the years watching these auctions never ever heard them stick on a bid for so long … heard him say $700k sooo many times …. What a crock of BS…. FAKE NEWS FAKE STORY ..
Storytime we'll just take a story made up and run with it and everybody that are suckers will go fall right onto it it's such a quick car like asked before is there anyone out there that's ever seen anybody race against his car besides its image in the window of a store
Listen up : a true deal of a lifetime people !!! i hava 1962 Pontiac GTO - yes no typo - 1962 - sittin here right now with major iconic street racing history AND a bonus 'placard' that includes all details of when my 'Mother' (God bless her soul) had originally raced this 'one of a kind' 'ultra rare' piece of american history with full blown story behind its enourmous racing heritage between '63 thru '70 !!! Its now for sale for ONLY ... 2 million dolleers ... and I would even consider alll offers above 1.9mil to help show I'm not greedy or racist in any way as long as u pay in 'cash' only - it will surely sell within a short time period SO best start gathering your $$$ - Mecum's already on the line as I scribble this !!!
All you guys butt hurt because you didn't sell the car and you can't buy the car so sad that grown men going on and on in the comments like some mad spoiled brats
If people really thought the car story was a scam,why would you let it go on this long" besides Its done and over with, New owner enjoy the car you paided for it
My dad always said "your kids have your stuff sold before your body's even cold." Case in point. What a dick for selling his dad's car. It only took long enough for the bullshit fairytale street racer story to be hyped by the auction company to sell it.
He did the right thing and he got way more money than anybody in the hood would ever give him. Had he kept that car they would have carjacked him and that would of being the end of that beautiful car.
Wow in the hood sir he would have got car jacked it's so sad that people are so closed minded and racist. The car hasn't been stolen or car jacked in all these years, you need to get out more and get to know people and stop letting the media and government dictate your thoughts

How would you know 🤔 you how a millionaire is going to feel ? I think you just butt hurt sir the man paid for the car because he wanted it I'm sure he's not a stupid man ok don't you do research when you buy car's ? Do you even have a million dollars to buy a car ?
You would pay 200 for a beat up smoking one when you can get a pretty one for around that?
His father is rolling over in his grave
Street racing legend with a hitch 🤨
That hitch gives it another 50 horsepower 😂
Maybe it was used to tow the real street race car?
Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.
Thats insane
Has this thing ever been down a actual drag strip with time slip cards.
Watch Uncle Tony Garage he tells the story well just a SCAM.
14 sec car on a good day.
Would of faced the Silver Bullett which would of blown it away without trying
I hear a movie is in the making, can't hold a good B/S story.
Someone got scammed.
What did the 2023 edition end up auctioning for?
It sold for $170,500 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost
LOT T100.1 // INDY 2023
13 Delivery Miles, 1 of 300 Built to Pay Homage to the Historic Challenger Black Ghost
He might be able to buy bot back for a third of the price when reality sinks in with the new buyer
1/10th the price, But anyone with that much money has lawyers that will demand the money back, plus interest.
When reality sinks in with the owner, the son better have a healthy account..😅😅😅
Someone had deep pockets.
Bernie Madoff would be so proud
Best comment yet
He's a white right I'm not sure ?
This whole thing is going to wind up in the courts with lawsuits flying!!!
The guys son who owned that car SHOULD NOT of sold that. That SUCKS I wanted to see it still in the family rather than there.
There's no way a 14 second car could have done that, the owner made up the story about street racing. Google him and see what the company he owns does......
I believe the 1970 Challenger with a Hemi was in the mid 13’s? In a quarter mile with stock tires.
@@WestPortAutoCenter You believe incorrectly.
@@WestPortAutoCenter the cars this thing was supposedly dragging were doing 9 seconds AT LEAST. This story is bogus
Brian K his company "strives to create stories that invoke an emotional response" lol
@@WestPortAutoCenter this one was loaded with heavy options like ac, power steering etc. heavy version. 14 seconds at best . You need to be in the 10s to rule the streets of Detroit at that time
It's either the greatest car ever, or the greatest scam, depends on who you ask. Great story if it's real.
Only time will tell
It's real!
"Its not a lie, if you believe it" -George Costanza
It's the biggest load of bullshit, no bonestock hemi challenger running 14s would beat anything on the street
Well take it up with Mecum
Whoever bought that got ripped off!
A 1970 Chevelle with a 454-LS6 ran low 13s stock.
Nice job on this scam!
Time to auction off my grandaddys carousel red 69 Ram Air IV Judge that was known on the streets as “Orange Man Bad”. It’s the fastest 13 second car of all time. Probably the fastest man made object to ever exist. He was undefeated back in the day. Joe Brandon used to ride in the passenger seat when he was a senator. Joe would yell “C’mon man! SHIFT!” so my granddaddy would know when to shift. Cornpop was there too. Gramps used to put $100 bills on the dash before he’d launch it. If Cornpop could grab the money, he got to keep it. He beat Don Garlets rail dragster one time in a super secret unsanctioned street race for pink slips. Mr. Garlets got so mad that he refused to honor his word and didn’t give my granddaddy his car. No one knew of his legendary status as an undefeated street racer back then. He was just a baptist preacher by day who snuck out at night to slay 10 second cars with Jesus as his co-pilot. His GTO was so fast and powerful that he reversed the earths rotation and traveled back in time to save his fallen war buddies in Korea. He was going after Adolf next but he only got 5mpg and wasn’t sure if it could make that trip. A true legend. My reserve is 1 million USD. Let the bidding commence….
big scam. look at the car. 14 second car at best
I hope he enjoys the money
Bizarre and a bit sad watching all those sycophants fawning over a car.
Street is different from track.. I don’t care about statistics when multiple people say they remember the car thats it…definitely not world’s fastest car but it was a runner the proof is there respect the black ghost 👻
Has anyone heard of the ghost Camaro and Gods Rambo from Bosnia?
LMAO, dads work truck ran that in 69, in Detroit!
Absolutely should have sold it!!! After all...... how many times can you really expect to get so much help selling a story that inflates a "reasonable price" by a factor of 6-10x. You can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time.......but let's face it..... this story is out now. Getting $500,000 would be a stretech for a fully restored PERFECT version of this car. To get $975,000 for it in this condition is a once in a lifetime thing. Smart man sells it. Only a fool would keep it.
100% BS.
Was so allusive that it only towed trailers at night too
There’s No Way In The World I Would’ve Sold My Family Heirloom! 😢 🤦♂️ 💔
A 340 Duster could beat this car, and Detroit from ‘70-‘75 would’ve had some really well-built serious street cars. But everyone loves a good story, right?
I hope the kid is smart with the money
The Black Hoax. The film maker seller is a marketing genius! Yes he should have sold it - he's not a car guy, but he is one hell of a story teller. Too bad for the buyer, he is fairly well screwed with no chance of getting his money back in his lifetime.
45k miles with sunroof in floor.
Congratulations Greg , well done 👏
LIE then do exactly what his dad told him not to. Yea good job being a piece of shit his father is horrified to have to share a last name with.
they should have titled this video 'How to rob someone of $975,000 without a gun" lol
People who bid that kind of money aren't stupid people the research has been done you just jealous
@@blackblack8224😂Oh yes they are. Maybe they’re not generally stupid, but the worlds full of wealthy individuals who are ignorant when it comes to a great number of things. They can indeed make stupid purchases and often do. Every restoration shop I’ve ever been to has at least one example of a stupid purchase that’s up on the lift with piles of money being dumped into it. Its money that will never be recouped. A lot of bidders at Mecum and Barret Jackson aren’t all that savvy. Many are there for impulse buying or jumping on whatever is being hyped.
Fastest towing vehicle made for that year according to j.d. power
Yep
I've read many stories on this car. The owners son fabricated a fake story to raise the price of this car. The son is a documentary movie producer, does that add to the picture. The tow hitch was there to tow the owners motor cycles around town. It was seen towing the bikes'. The car was seen racing also, but it was only racing 12 to 13 second cars not what it has been portrayed as. The new owner bought a story not a mysterious ghost..
Look up the Silver Bullet 67 GTX for a real modified street racer that was fast
Biggest scam in collector car history 😂
I hear the shift light was another person in the passenger seat.
a scam....
All the years watching these auctions never ever heard them stick on a bid for so long … heard him say $700k sooo many times …. What a crock of BS…. FAKE NEWS FAKE STORY ..
Storytime we'll just take a story made up and run with it and everybody that are suckers will go fall right onto it it's such a quick car like asked before is there anyone out there that's ever seen anybody race against his car besides its image in the window of a store
See what it sells for at the end of the video!
Sold for too much, they bought a bogus story
This is has a contrived street racing story. No truth here.
If true, cars in Detroit were slooow in those days. Save your money.
14 second car at best. Nice STORY though.
Listen up : a true deal of a lifetime people !!!
i hava 1962 Pontiac GTO - yes no typo - 1962 - sittin here right now with major iconic street racing history AND a bonus 'placard' that includes all details of when my 'Mother' (God bless her soul) had originally raced this 'one of a kind' 'ultra rare' piece of american history with full blown story behind its enourmous racing heritage between '63 thru '70 !!! Its now for sale for ONLY ... 2 million dolleers ... and I would even consider alll offers above 1.9mil to help show I'm not greedy or racist in any way as long as u pay in 'cash' only - it will surely sell within a short time period SO best start gathering your $$$ - Mecum's already on the line as I scribble this !!!
All you guys butt hurt because you didn't sell the car and you can't buy the car so sad that grown men going on and on in the comments like some mad spoiled brats
If people really thought the car story was a scam,why would you let it go on this long" besides Its done and over with, New owner enjoy the car you paided for it
My dad always said "your kids have your stuff sold before your body's even cold." Case in point. What a dick for selling his dad's car. It only took long enough for the bullshit fairytale street racer story to be hyped by the auction company to sell it.
I spoke with Gregory and I gave him my congratulations! I supported his decision!
Which decision do you support? selling the car against his father's wishes? or the decision to scam the current owner with a bogus story?
The biggest car con ever.
fabricated street racing stories... by a story writer...
What happened to my kid going to drive the car. It's all about money.
He did the right thing and he got way more money than anybody in the hood would ever give him. Had he kept that car they would have carjacked him and that would of being the end of that beautiful car.
Wow in the hood sir he would have got car jacked it's so sad that people are so closed minded and racist. The car hasn't been stolen or car jacked in all these years, you need to get out more and get to know people and stop letting the media and government dictate your thoughts
Obviously there's still people around with a whole lot more money than any sense.
Sounds like a bunch of mad broke folks 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Black Myth
So what did your dad leave you ????
HONESTY.... which is worth MUCH more than that car..🙂🙂
@@denimblue8633 Bruh.. his last words were "Don't sell my fucking car" as he handed him the title knowing his death was near.
My money on bottle rocket
Moral to the story just lie to sell your classic car a 14 second car destroyed everyone the street lmao okay.
I don’t care how much he got or going to get!! He shouldn’t have sold it!!!! Not your dads car!!
Street racing legend? Hardly. all stock and 14 sec car at best.
He sold it 😢
P.T. Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every minute. Dumb money pumping up the classic car market.
Money talks and all you haters can walk😂😂😂
