Super Cars At Auction

[NWYENKO]

Sounds like Brian is saying that this is probably a $50-60k car that due to the auction may go to $75k. For another $4o in costs would you then have a non numbers matching restoration? I wonder if even then you would have a $85k or $90k car. It will really be interesting. As Brian says the auction fever can bite you (that is why my wife is making me wear a straight jacket this year). Just look at the poor sap that ended up about $8k sideways in the Red Deuce last year!!(still able to LOL).

I know the feeling.... I and another guy were going to bid on the deuce-from the stage but you got "sideways" quick (actually vertical) it was a great show to watch. We had the car pegged for 21K tops, and were astounded to see the bidding go up so fast.

See you at the auction!

Jim...I'll buy all the $50-60K good Drivers that you come up with that are Lemans Blue 4 speed cars. :-)

GEEZ!Charley, I was trying to get from "not a lick of original drivetrain", "needs restoration","driver" to the value of a numbers matching restoration. Would anyone be able to get this car to that condition for $40k or $50k? I am by no means an expert just trying to be more educated. It seems that such a premium is placed on original drivetrain. If this car had that would it be worth 30%-50% more?? Just asking. Hope to see you next week!!

Jim, I think Charley was kidding you about your car saying he'd give you $50 or $60K for it. Remember your car is Lemans Blue too.

Thanks, Kevin, NOW I GET IT!! I am a little slow after all it is a dreary, dismal Friday afternoon and I think I am half asleep. Also I forgot it is CHARLEY we are dealing with here!! Are you going to the auctions??

[SuperCars]

No, I'm staying home. I had a very good time there last year though. And I didn't buy anything there either.
