Warren, those three cars were are pretty neat cars. I just got home from the BG auction and I thought that overall prices were pretty strong with the most notable sale being the featured black/black 67 435 conv. formally owned by Roby Price. It brought 445K not including buyers premium.

I wondered how the auction went this year. Roby Price flew out to the first Russo & Steele auction held in Monterey just after the NCRS National and was there to bid on my '69 L78 SS Camaro convertible. He and Milt Robson went at it for awhile.

Hi Phil,

Actually, they came up to me afterwards and conveyed to me that they had miscommunicated to each other, otherwise the car would have had a different owner!

Hello Warren
I just got back home from Bloomington Gold show. I missed seeing you there. The white LS-6 was a Canadian car ordered new. The owner told me the information at the of the sale.
Regards,
Drew Papsun

Chris,

I'm not sure you would want to set this new 1/4 mile E.T. record in this particular car. It was factory ordered as M22, MA6 & 3:08 ratio!!!!

But I do believe it might have set a good record at the Bonneville Salt Flat runs. Maybe the flying mile runs timed in both directions.
