[Big Block Bill]

Bill, Having owned 1 of the first 3 Bloomington Gold Benchmark cars the award was created after, I would have to agree with Belair, they are only original once, and take a while to bring the money they are due. The 1965 396 coupe that was in the 3 cars awarded in 1991 with my 1967 roadster, was sold (If I remember correctly) last year for about $82,000.00, @ Bloomington gold auction, about what a restored car was worth at the time. Don't sell yourself short,in my mind they SHOULD be worth MORE than a restored car because of the value the hobby can learn from them. Like the Master Card commercial...Original,...Priceless!
