Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
Kevin Hand has decided to sell some of the prominent cars in his collection at the Russo and Steele Auction this coming January 19-23, in Scottsdale Arizona.

Kevin is a long time sYc member and is known for collecting and restoring some of the best Muscle cars and Super Cars available anywhere.

These cars will be offered at NO RESERVE! No games....the high bidder/closing hammer gets the car.

Contact John Bemiss in order to get your bidders pass/credentials.

This is a brief description of the vehicles to be auctioned.


1970 Plymouth Cuda Convertible, Lemon Twist Yellow, 440-6 pack 4 speed. One of Seventeen 440-6 packs made, there is not another cuda Conv't in existence with this color and trim combination and a 4 speed, possibly 1 of 1 made. This car was treated to a complete no expense spared rotisserie restoration. This car comes with complete Galen Govier physical inspection and decoding of Trim Tag. This car was inspected twice by Galen. Special attention was given to every detail of this car down to the dated coded inflatable spare tire and wheel. This car has been kept in a climate controlled environment since completion.

1967 Shelby GT 500 sold new in Bristol Tennessee and obtains 90% of it's original sheet metal. A very solid real deal "SHELBY" with vintags and numbers in place. It has all of the original interior, steering wheel , roll cage, and rallye pack, and original Kelsey Hayes wheels. This car currently has a 427 Carroll Shelby Aluminum block set up as the original 428 engine was set up with TWIN 4 Barrel carb's. this car has a special added feature which is a HONE A DRIVE added to the transmission which is set up so that anyone can drive this car and convert from 4.10 gearing to 2.70 gearing for highway driving should anyone want to take a drive. This lightweight aluminum 427 is built to SHOW or Drive. Although it has never seen much road time as you can tell. A great chance to own a FULL DOCUMENTED American Icon.

1972 Plymouth Roadrunner GTX, 440-4speed Air Grabber. This car was inspected and decoded by Galen Govier and was quoted as being one of the "Highest Optioned" Muscle cars built in the Plymouth Line up. This car has the VER RARE FACTORY SUNROOF, POWER WINDOWS, AND A VERY RARE CASSETTE RECORDER WITH DICTAPHONE. The car was driven as a professional promotion car by a member of the Detroit Red Wings hockey team.

1969 "GOLD" Yenko Camaro, 1 of 10 built, 1 of 4 in existence, 1 of 2 with White Stripes.

This was a factory built COPO 427, Central Office Production Order . This car still has the original "BE" rearend. I have owned every color 1969 Yenko Camaro there is to own and this one by far and away is in a league of its own. You can find any other color Yenko, try and find a GOLD one, next to Impossible.

2002 Dodge Viper GTS #36 of the top 50 made. The "Finally" edition was a limited production run in 2002 in which 361 2002 GTS's were made. This particular year was the last year in which the V-10 Vipers were built with the SUPER STRONG low end engine with the Super Strong Forged Crankshaft .

Spent some time at the Pavilions yesterday along with a bunch of sYc members and friends, we had the Gold Yenko, Yellow 6 pack Cuda rag top and a Killer '67 Shelby GT 500.

The two most often asked questions:

1) Are they real?

2) Are the Kevin Hand cars really selling at no reserve?

I saw the GT500 yesterday and it was number 2 on "our" list of nicest cars there last night

Number 1 was the 63 split window Corvette ZR-1

Number 3 was the original paint 69 Boss 429

I don't understand how an educated seller such as Kevin could sell his cars at Russo Steele, typically a reserve auction, with no reserve? In this spotty market how could a seller risk so much without any protection? Someone sure bought a great car for far less than cost. Something doesn't add up, just like the selling price!! Who ended up with the car???

mc25t190 03-20-2011 08:13 PM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
The buyer was a customer of Nickey Chicago's by the last name of Carlson.&quot;It is clearly evident in the auction world of muscle cars that the &quot;HOUSE&quot;, their circle of a few select dealers, and the dealers customers outweigh the seller. When the gavel drops on a car as quickly as that one did, you know something is up. The auction in this case went with the dealer and his customer. In this case my trust was misplaced and the almighty dollar took over, thats my fault, thats ok, I can sleep at night. When you do the right thing, you expect others to do the right thing. You win some and lose some, in the end, it's the chance you take. I attend auction's twice a week, I know them quite well. I have never seen such a joke, there was a backup in place but that mysteriously changed the minute the GOLD car hit the stage, oh well you live and learn, go Barrett Jackson! &quot; I have to ask why was there a post about something changing when no one even posted about something changing, watch the tape and be the judge for yourself.

Charley Lillard 03-20-2011 11:01 PM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
Where do I start...You are delusional. Your actions at the auction were affected by alcohol as evidenced by you throwing beer on people in the stands during the auction. Yes I read where Lopata said something to the effect that we over here were just sore that we paid 155K for the Berger COPO but missed out on your Gold Yenko for 175K. Could he be more wrong ? That was my Berger RS COPO so I guess I didn't miss out on it. The buyer of the Berger RS COPO also bought your Yenko so MR Lopata only missed it by a mile. You say you would have done better at Barrett-Jackson. Barrett-Jackson sold two COPO Camaro's for right about 100K so are you sure you would have done better over there ? COPO Camaro's aren't bringing what they used to. There were only two bidders at the end on my COPO and the guy that didn't win it had not even looked at it up close but he also has a double COPO and said he thought that was a good price. You and I are both lucky to have the buyer that we had and his name isn't Carlson. And &quot;Carlson&quot; does not need any help buying cars. Contrary to what you, Mr Lopata and a couple others think, Olympic gold is not a first choice for someone that is looking to buy a Yenko and I would bet money that if your car had been blue or orange it would have brought more money. A good auctioneer knows when they are down to the only real money and drops the hammer. I also wish I had gotten more money but the money wasn't there and I don't think it was at Barrett-Jackson either. You can try to act like you were scammed but you weren't. The car was heavily advertised so everyone knew it would be there for sale yet they weren't bidding. So was my car but they weren't bidding. Your car was for sale just like mine at &quot;No Reserve&quot; Both our cars sold at &quot;No Reserve&quot; Blaming others is looking in the wrong direction.

Kevin; That makes your statements, and actions, look even more foolish.

And since when did ownership become a prerequisite for knowledge? There are owners of rare cars who know little about their cars while there are non-owners (several on here) who are very knowledgeable about cars they do not own.

For those that are sucked into this protecting each other stuff, simple minds, I expected all of the above especially from the close net group protecting each other! I fully expect Tom to delete this thread or be instucted to. For the real deal [link removed], chew on that Tom Clary. As you can see I post at both real often, right?

Kevin,

If you have something truthful, factual and documentable regarding this situation, which you feel needs to be discussed on a public forum, then by all means share that info here.

There are thousands of active members, who might like to learn more about this situation.

The cars and the way in which they were to be auctioned, along with your own descriptions were advertised right here, first.

I can understand that you were not happy with the results of the GOLD Yenko, however, the Auction did their very best. In light of what other, non original engine COPOs, which actually sold to new owners fetched, that weekend, your GOLD 9561, fell right in line.

You had a much higher offer, prior to consigning the Yenko with R&amp;S from one of our very good customers, which you turned down, as you said that you were willing to take your chances on the Yenko doing better.

The fact that you once were a Car Dealer, and have worked in the retail environment for many years, as well as frequent car auctions &quot;twice a week&quot;, provides you a bit more experience than the average auction seller/ buyer.





mc25t190 03-22-2011 01:59 PM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
I never said I had a much higher offer and would take my chances?

Stefano 03-22-2011 03:54 PM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
That is exactly one of my points as you try and spin this situation. You never told anyone that I had a higher offer, which you had turned down.

I don't need to drag that particular individual into this. So at this point I say it happened and you say that it didn't.

Are you saying that you did not understand the consignment agreements which you signed with R&amp;S and did not know what NO RESERVE meant?

There was absolutely no agreement with me or R&amp;S to protect any of your cars, prior to the auction.

In fact, it was quite the contrary. I told the auction and others that I would not bid on any of your cars and I didn't

I even helped some members and customers get bidders credentials in order to potentially bid on your cars.

Guess what.....one of them was high bidder and bought one of your cars??

The fact that, in a drunk' in stuper you decided to try and protect your car to no avail, at the last minute, and that you did not have the necessary line of credit in order to facilitate buying your own car back .....is certainly no ones fault but your own.

Colin is one of most knowledgeable Shelby Enthusiasts, Collectors and dealers I know. He is also a friend. I have no issues referring potential customers to him. I guess I held a gun to your head in order to force you to buy that car too?

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
Kevin, first of the all, this thread will be allowed to run its course, so everyone who has heard about the bizarre happenings at the auction can form their own opinions of who did what to who.

Second of all, no, you do not post much on here, when you do, usually it is to pimp one of your cars, telling us how much better it is then all of the similar cars out there. Yes, you have owned some cool cars, but, and I know this is not how you view things, owning rare cars does not make you, or any of us, any more special then the next guy.


In closing, I am not for sure what Mark's Chevelle, or my Nova, have to do with this thread, other then to try and steer the focus away from the facts. Face it, you yourself admitted it was your decision to sell your cars at NO RESERVE, a risky move anytime, but even more so in today’s economy, so why blame others? I realize in today’s world blaming others for one’s failures is common place, but I for one am tired of that mentality.

Be an adult about this, admit selling at no reserve may have been a poor decision on your part, and move on.

kwhizz 03-22-2011 06:43 PM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
Not being involved or caring about what went on at the Auction.......The Facts seem to be that your car or cars were consigned to the Auction at No Reserve.......
Did you expect to receive some exceptions to the terms of the contract to guarantee that your cars would have a cushion around them to really not be sold at No Reserve???
Seems to me that you were the one who put yourself in that position ........

iluv69s 03-23-2011 01:31 AM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
Don´t I remember one of the no-reserve auction houses guaranteeing a minimum total sale price to the consignor for a collection of muscle cars? Maybe it was the collection that included the blue 69 RS ZL1 ??

I don´t have any sides here as it does not matter to me...but it seems I do remember that this kind of agreement has happened...whether it is behind the scenes or on the consignment contract I do not know...correct me if my memory fails me...

it would not be the first time that has happened..(my memory)

Stefano 03-23-2011 02:48 AM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
What may or may not have happened at other auctions, different venues several years ago does not pertain to what we are discussing.

Kevin entered into a very straight forward arangement to sell his cars at NO Reserve.

There were NO Guarantees offered by anyone, from my company and/or the Auction. It was a simple and straight up consignment deal to auction the cars at No Reserve, which is the way they were promoted and advertised.

If you stand in front of your NO Resreve car, and tell interested parties that no one is going to steal my car and if it doesn't bring at least $350,000.00, I'm taking it home.....you might tend to have interested bidders and potential buyers, who are not willing to pay that amount or more loose total interest and move on to the next car.

I had several of my own cars running at no reserve and made certain that I got as many interested bidders to know that I wasn't taking my cars home with me!

&quot;When the gavel drops on a car as quickly as that one did, you know something is up.&quot;

Kevin feels that the gavel dropped prematurely on his car.

Did it or did it not?

If it can be objectively determined that it did, then Kevin has a legitimate gripe. If it did not, then its all a misunderstanding. If it can't be proven either way, then the discussion is moot.

I hate to say it but, everything else on this thread seems to be a pointless tit for tat.

Well said. Diametrically opposed opinions that will never be reconciled. Bunch of side issues that have no bearing on the differences of opinion.

BTW, what is tat? Where do you get it? How do you trade it for that other thing? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Stefano 03-23-2011 03:39 PM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
I think the points are extremely relevant or I wouldn't have made them.

Some cars spend more time and some cars spend less time on the block. The decision from a collector/enthusiast seeking to purchase a specific car is not usually made at the point, while it is running across the block.

That is usually determined before hand. What the block usually helps determine is how much someone is really willing to pay and in the case of &quot;with a reserve&quot;, the point at what someone is willing to accept in order to sell a particular car at that particular time.

There is no guaranteed block/gavel time. The point is, that once the bidding stopped, as in, there were NO other bidders and the three count was made.....no one else bid.

The auctioneers know who is bidding and if there are multiple bidders. Generally they can only work true bidders in a no reserve situation.

Many of Kevin's other cars spent a bit more time across the block because they had more individuals bidding on them.

If and when an auction runs a bid on behalf of the seller in order to help a particular vehicle get to a reserve.....it generally takes more time and can appear that there are more bidders than there actually are.



The story relayed by Kevin to his mouth piece on another site never mentioned anything about the time the car spent on the block. The main issue presented was protecting this particular car, from a low selling price. I know that when looking to lay blame some tend to grasp at multiple straws.

Stefano 03-23-2011 03:50 PM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
Here is the banter from another site.

&quot;I Here's the story anyone including members of the SYC can correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Hand consigned (using this term loosely) his cars to sell at NO RESERVE at RS.The consignor NC assured Mr. Hand his cars were covered up to what Mr. Hand wanted to get.If they didn't meet Kevins number they were to be purchased back.The understanding was between Kevin ,NC and RS the auctioneer.Since there is NO legal paperwork to let a consignor buy their car back Mr. CC a well known Midwest car dealer was put in place to cover the bid.When the car reached $175 Mr. CC bailed which in turn led a customer of the consignor NC to purchase the car.
When Mr Hand confronted the consignor NC Mr. SB he blamed CC the Midwest dealer for dropping the ball.Mr. CC the midwest dealer claimed noone informed him of what the high buy back number was to be.Mr Hand furious over what he percieved as getting rearended proceded to bathe the Midwest dealer CC in an expensive beer to which then as Mr Hand was leaving the facility was jumped or restrained by 2 of the Midwest dealers friends.
So there you have it.Correct anything you conceive to be incorrect.

P.S. This was relayed to me .I in no way was on or near the premisis when this incident occured but it didn't take a psychic to see this one coming.&quot;

For the record, these libelous statments are not true.

iluv69s 03-24-2011 12:42 AM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
Stefano, with all due respect, I do believe that the fact that these 'deals' protecting the seller at 'no reserve' auctions are relevant if they do in fact exist...especially if it is a verbal agreement and not written in any contract.

Obviously, you know more than me about what happened at the auction. But apparently, there seems to be some misunderstanding whether there was some kind of a verbal agreement made to protect Kevin.

Regardless if anyone feels it is relevant, I am asking the question. Has this type of thing happened in prior auctions?..and if so, was it ever done by a handshake or was it written in the contract?

If this has <span style="font-weight: bold">never</span> happened in prior auctions, it would go a long way for me to believe that Kevin may be 'crying' over a bad business decision..

And I also remember somone here telling how thier car stalled at a certain price before reaching the reserve, and then the auction company agreed to lower the seller's comission, and upon lifting the reserve, the car took off and the selling price soared way above the reserve price. I have seen many times when the price stalled and the auctioneer talked the car up again and the price continued to climb. Obviously different circumstances and auctions..but when a precedent has been set, it makes the possibility of this happening more believable.

I think we all deserve to know the answers to these questions so we can be better informed if we decide to buy or sell our cars at auction some day..it just seems odd to me that the auction company did not allow the normal time on the block for this car..(assuming this is what happened)or even give some extra time...what was there to lose?? was the high bidder going to back out if the auctioneer hyped the car for another minute before dropping the gavel??

once again, I do not know kevin or am I trying to defend him. And I do not have a bone to pick with anyone regarding this..I am just trying to find as much info (truth) as possible ..

just my humble opinion... thanks, max

Stefano 03-24-2011 02:14 AM

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
An auction company is a business and technically they can make deals with both buyers and sellers of vehicles, if they are within the laws of the land.

Every auction is different, as are the potential varying circumstances.

The commissions charged to the seller are generally lower with no reserve, since the the vehicle is going to sell with 100% certainty.

Auctions do not generally negotiate their commissions on a no reserve deal, across the block, since there is no need to.

Auctions do have the option to try and negotiate a sale across the block, when a vehicle does have a reserve.

It would be a prudent business practice to have a contract spelling out all the details of any such significant transaction.

It is none of my business to discuss or speculate on other people's private deals and or contacts, especially on a public forum.

All of the details and guidelines are spelled out in the auction contracts.

Many Auctions are businesses which generate $10,000,000.00s of dollars in Sales and do not operate without contracts.

In the case of R&amp;S Arizona 2011, there is no contractual provision for allowing protection of a no reserve vehicle. The way to achieve protection through the auction is by using a reserve.

Many members ran their cars at this acuction venue, most used a the reserve method. Some sold their cars while others did not.

I ran some of my cars both ways. When we got close to the reserve on the reserved cars we took it off and sold them. When we were not close we kept the reserve on.

&quot;I knew what was coming when I made the post. You see that everytime someone posts on the site that all off the clan chip in to try to protect and cover up the obvious. Charlie Lillard either did not know the details or he is DELUSIONAL, forget about the prices of the cars. SB got CC of all people to help me out. CC sold me a 67 Shelby GT500 in 2004 that did not have the original fenders on the car, the car had been wrecked and the Shelby serial numbers were gone, then told me he had cancer , couldn't sleep at night, but , wouldn't buy the car back. Yes , this is the guy who was on the SHELBY board at the time that lied endlessly about the car. When confronted you should have heard the barrage of lies. I later found CC had quite a few upset customers. Byt the way , guess who referrred me to him, that's right SB. Now this guy and SB are suppose to help me. You had to be standing by SB when this all happened and he tried to make it seem as though a mistake had been made, why his post the following morning about something changing, what change???
CL and TC are so simple minded and full of it when they do not know the details or the screwing I had taken before by CC . Thanks for the help, then tell me its my fault. It's a good thing I could afford the situation. I expected there to be a collusion amongst the members that made posts to support SB . If they only knew, and for Tom C. to point out that someone is foolish, he is the FOOL!They are all credible ,right?? I expected this from the clan, I wish they were their, they would have taken a beer bath too! Do your homework Tom before you jump in the band wagon! &quot;

Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction
 
I don't care what kind of hand shake or verbal deal you have with someone prior to your car going across the auction block. If it is going through at NO RESERVE, you should expect that something may happen where someone would actually win it at less than what you would like to get it for.

Why run it at NO RESERVE if you want a minimum amout for the car? The only person at fault here is the SELLER. No one else.

If it is going through at NO RESERVE, you should expect that something may happen where someone would actually win it at less than what you would like to get it for.

Why run it at NO RESERVE if you want a minimum amout for the car? The only person at fault here is the SELLER. No one else. </div></div>

I agree with this 100% If the seller had a set minimum price he wanted for this car, he should have run it with a reserve plain and simple. He chose not to and got less than he expected....sorry but it's the sellers own fault and he has no reason to be complaining here, it's his own fault!!!

I ran my 1970 Z28 through the Mecum auction last Sept in St Charles with a reserve. It didn't make reserve so I took the car home, plain and simple. Personally, I don't understand why anyone would run a car at auction without a reserve...the reserve is there to protect you the seller and the commission is not that much more at Mecum with a reserve 6% vs. 4%. Just my humble opinion.
