Is a Moke project really worth $10K?

That seems like a LOT of money for a rusty Catalina Moke, unless there's some historical value to being one of those cars?

Try about 1/20 the asking price as that one is good for only the title & VIN - needs a complete new shell, has no subframes, no interior bits of any kind, no electrical, no tank, etc. - too much missing to list.

I watched the youTube linked in the facebook post and it is basically the rotten shell, the old bumpers, a very questionable steering rack, and possibly a defunct 850 engine good as a boat anchor.

The video sounds like Jemmal.

I sold a Moke body like that for $200 back in the 90s.  I know we have incredible inflation right now, but $10K is crazy.

The last 2 mokes that I stripped to a bare body I gave away. I didn't want to hear any bitching about they overpaid. Of course they didn't have vins either.

Reminiscent of the Mopar craze of the early 2000’s where people were asking 50k for a similar cuss shell because the vin said at production it had a hemi. 

Think it happened 3-4 years ago with broncos.  Some place in Cali was buying anything with a vin for 20k cause they were redoing them and selling for well over 100k.

An old McCormack Farmall Cub, and THIS - Kurt Bilinski's Midlana. 538 hp mid mounted Honda engine in a custom built state of the art chassis, total weight with driver about 1650lbs! Plus, if you want to build one for yourself, for $100 you can buy the book that details every step, every weld, every nut and bolt and all the design and engineering drawings so you can DIY a copy! I followed this build for years as I first found him when I saw his previous build, another Honda powered mid-engined car called Kimini, built with a carbon fiber classic Mini body.
