Sounds very interesting. I wonder who's car it is and if there is any significant history associated with it. Somebody ought to go check it out, it definitely won't be me as I am currently not much more that an invalid due to major back surgery.
You know, hell we ALL know, that car could be a COPO,375hp, or just a plain old &quot;123 VIN&quot;, BUT it needs to be researched. You never know.....................

Too funny. I've been going to Braun and Helmer auctions for 20+ years now.
And that the house is right next to the Girl Scout camp where my daughter and I went last fall.
Looks like the guy worked at the GM Hydramatic plant (the old B24 bomber plant, next to the Willow Run plant).

That's Lyn Laperriere's car from Milan MI.
Note the MK1V engines in the same auction too also what's that loose decklid, looks somehow familiar? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif

Tags were in an envelope with the title and matched the car.
