irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I don't get it. It's a Python with a shorter barrel making it worth $18,000 more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 My goodness!!! I'd never heard of a "Boa." Besides the rosewood grips and "BOA" written on barrel, what makes a Boa different from a Python? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get collecting either, but if I did I’d probably be rich . Why is a 57 Chevy worth more than a 55 or 56 ? This looks to me to be a python with a different roll stamp and grips . But I guess it makes it a super rare python Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G W Wade Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Did find what is different. Vary rare but not greatest product. The Boa is a Python barrel on a Trooper frame. Limited production set apart by limited matched set on cons. number with 4 and 6 in barrel. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about the fins, 283 and fuel injection or 2 4 barrel carbs. And no one cares that it was a pita to take care of. I drove mine for about a year and almost gave it away. I bought it in 1959 and someone had shoved a 327 in it. It ran the buns off of everything else in town...when it was running and assorted parts weren't breaking or falling off. I wish I had a barn full of them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, when I saw the OP I thought this was one of those auctions with a high minimum that wasn't going to get any bids. But people have actually bid it up to that price?

I do sometimes wonder how many fake bidders exist on sites like gunbroker/eBay . It wouldn’t take much to open a few accounts to bid things up , the seller would be stuck with the fees if it didn’t work. But if it works often enough they may feel it’s worth the risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Man some people have a lot of money to throw around! I wonder how much this gun will go up in value after CZ takes over. Maybe that's what the bidder is thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 My local gun shop had a new Colt Gatling gun for $59,999. He sold it to a collector who made payments monthly for 18 months after putting $20K down. The buyer owned a local business and is a serious collector. Colt only made 100 of these critters.
