[Closed] Horch CMC auction

Brad why did you change your post? You asked about the CMC Horch and then changed it to "TEST" ???

To answer .... YES I have seen several auctions stating the rear wheel or wheels have come off, etc.. I had one of the top down burgandy ones and when I packed it up in 2004 to move it was PRISTINE! Paint was polished by me to perfection, all parts were lined up etc... When I removed it from the box about 3 years ago in 2010 I almost had a heart attack! The top down mechanism was broken in 2-3 spots and detached, one rear wheel was laying in the box, the other was bowed inward and when I touched it a little it too fell off. In addition to this the doors and rear fenders were covered in terrible rash and zemack degradation was taking place in many spots, causing the metal to break down, twist and bulge. THe only thing that was still perfect was the two hood panels! VERY upsetting to see a model that I paid about $170 for disintegrated into a POS!!! The only other car I have had with this break down issue was a door on the white/orange DM 69 RS Camaro. No other models so far have had the zemack "worm" about 2-3% of the collection did develop paint issues, most mild that I was able to polish out to a smooth finish again (Thank GOD). Annoying, sad, what have you, but at least the majority isnt falling apart!

Hi Phil...

Sorry, I was having problems posting. It is back to the original content now - thanks Phil.

I see that thanks!

I has paint rash under the left (driver side) headlight.

In this condition it is worth $80-120, based on my market observation over the last year.

I have 2-3 like this one, if anyone wants it for $500 each, please let me know. Will give you free shipping. LOL

Chav if it is in one spot and it is minor and not zemack degradation then I would say your car is as good as any other Horch out there so... its worth whatever you see them selling for. $500 is a fluke. The CMC Horches are much like the FM 1955 ROlls silver Cloud in silver and black. The prices are up down and sideways! Oneday a MIB one with papers will only sell for $145 then the next day another sells for $350 and a well later $110 etc.. No rhyme or reason just how it is! Ive seen both top up and top down burgandy Horch sell for anywhere from 100 - $500+ in MIB condtion and anywhere in between over the past 6 months. If anyone is looking for one, stick to $200 MAX within a month or two you WILL land a MIB example for that price!

Hi Phil, I have 5-6 six of them in various condition...

at least 2 of mine are in near perfect condition, the highest I've paid was ~230. I've never seen someone paying 500 for such a questionable condition. Perhaps I don't follow them long enough because I remove them from my watch list once the price goes too high and I am no longer interested in the item.

I don't have the black one but I've seen it selling for 600-1000.

(pic) I really think the pain rash is bad but of course it is hard to see on these low quality pictures. Certainly way overpriced.

Look at this crack:

Hey I have paint rash ... wait !

Sorry ... =;

Doctor siad it's a rash alright

Not Paint rash:O

my bad

Doctors know nothing about paint rash...

scrub the rash with micro mesh. It's either gonna go away, or you're really gonna need the doctor.

You bought it this way??

See mine was bought brand new when released by a CMC dealer and it was pristine and displayed for about 3 years until I moved. Packed it up in 2004 and around 2010 when I took it out it was a POS and falling apart! How sad is that!!!!

I have the black one with the display case and all.

It had slight rash when I bought it on the hood and one of the doors. I did polish most of it out back then and the silver still looks pretty good, but the hoods paint looks crappy. Lucky for me its BLACK so I will disassembly the hood one day, strip, clean and repaint it to a new and high gloss and she'll sit pretty again! I've seen a black and silver Horch WITH advertised "slight paint issues" (paint on both doors and hood looked dull and kinda crappy) and it sold for over $1,100!! This was about 1 - 1 1/2 years ago.

Darn! .. I paid $45 for office visit - he he he
