Bob, I seem to remember the owner being a hedge fund guy and we all know how those have fared lately.

Anyone know why the seller decided to part with all of those prime cars? I know he didn't need the money.

If he really is (was) a hedge fund manager then he probably needs some of that money back now that the whole thing has collapsed. (He must not have been very good at seeing the future--something a hedge fund manager, or any money manager should need to know, ya' know?) Seeing him (or his proxy) pay those prices at B-J a few years ago without care and now seeing him basically 'dumping' everything he bought should tell you something about the stock market vs. reality. Welcome to reality!

A friend of mine bought Lot #240, the Bennie Osborn Top Fueler; makes a nice bookend with the Tony Nancy "Sizzler" Top Fueler he bought in August. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

I REALLY JUST LIKE THE CAR, A REAL COOL LS6 CONVRT WITH REAL RACE HISTORY GREAT BUY

Re: Truppi-Kling LS6 RM Auction Results
 

From looking at the auction results, obviously a 'no-reserve' auction. You think this LS-6 Rag really changed hands or the fella just bought it back.

Tell you what, I'm wouldn't be taking a million dollar that quick...

I think the Ray Allen car would have been a much better resto IMO if it was done as Ray had it when he raced it in the beginning. The original "In race trim." https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif
