Hey, Gang! We probably will not see a Corvair at the auction for many =
years, but it is still on today from 2-11 (9 hours!), then again =
tomorrow. Check it out on Speed, it is really quite facinating! I =
watched for about an hour from 9-10. It's clearly dominated by muscle =
cars, Corvettes, and Hemi Cudas. (Exactly how many COPO Camaros did =
they build?) I'm sure if you were interested in a particular car, you =
could probably find one for 20-40% less privately... People seem to get =
caught up in auction fever!
Daniel & I saw a rough 1961 Chrysler 300G convertible for sale a few =
years ago. It needed a total restoration, but it was compete, had two =
replacement front fenders. I remember it being very rusty, including =
the trunk and the lip of the trunk near the bumper. The guy wanted $6K, =
which I thought was ridiculous at the time (he ended up selling it thru =
a Chrysler publication to someone in California for $4,500! One just =
sold last night on B-J, albeit in beautiful condition, for $190,000! =
Yes, $190,000. Who knows, it may have been the same car? Kind of makes =
you wonder that if I had bought the car, had White Post do a $100,000 =
restoration, the profit would have been nice!!! As Daniel has told me =
before, a "Blue Chip Investment!"
