wow

LOTS of great stuff at that auction

check out ebay for all the stuff in the upcoming weeks

that Pontiac Service clock is waaay cool. That T/A is beautifully preserved, but 85K? Somebody wanted it. Good for them.

Very cool car with all of the docs and plastic covers on EVERYTHING!

[nova7579]

Not only did it have all the docs, it also had the envelopes they were sent in to the dealer!!!!! Don't waste your time waiting for the pictures, clock, and other old chief wall hanging coming to e-bay as they were purchased by some family members and end users at the prices they sold for.

That is an incredible time capsule car. It really seems like before the 1975 Corvette convertible or 76 Eldorado convertible that these types of cars simply do not exist. Imagine a 69 ZL1 Camaro or an L88 Corvette etc. with 6 miles and untouched!

???

So the family was selling the business but didn't take what they wanted?

Or did they bid at the sale and were the high bidders?

Kind of confusing ...

[nova7579]

Not confusing at all if you know the story. The owners were 3 brothers and I guess that they could not work it out before the auction....so bid away!

... Charley,

I have one of those too.

What is the story behind those?

Happy Fourth of July <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif
