I have to confess that I was seriously considering registering so I could bid.

The pick up ZIP is less than 20,000 feet from my house...

But they were not offering on site inspections prior to auction end...

I looked hard at those photos and convinced myself that someone had already clearly gone through and cherry picked that hoard... which is almost always the case. You have to believe that with auctions (particularly) like this, that it's been combed through.

There was one GT40 head visible and one late(r) model roller 5.0 block that I noticed and lots of junk, but, as the ad said, you could leave what you wanted which was encouraging if not way out of the norm for situations like this, typically, it's "you gotta get it all outta here by noon tomorrow"...

That fiberglass kit car looked to be way more hassle than it could possibly be worth, just to move it as-is...

I was interested until the sandbaggers came out and bid in the last hours... And, I too, was amazed at the final winning bid, made me wonder if I didn't notice something.

Without the ability to inspect, I would have passed too, Anthony. I doubt you missed a big prize. More likely some dreamer thinks they got the deal of the year on that kit car.....
