One-of-a-Kind 69 Camaro at BJ this weekend

[DaveC68]

Local Friend has been working on this for many years, crossing the block this Saturday Lot 1369.....maybe Two-of-a-Kind. Anxious to see where it ends up both in bidding and new home...

Had no idea what it might bring...but that was disappointing.

It is hard to generate energy when the item being sold does not even enter the bidding arena.

And TV coverage cuts to commercial.

That was disappointing they couldn't find a way to get that on stage. Surely they had a trailer to use

I was wondering how they might move it. Guess they decided to leave it. It was up against the wall in the main tent, close to the front, but with everything else in there and elbow to elbow people, it would have been a real chore to load that thing on something and drag it to the stage.

I was watching the live stream, initially they had some difficulty putting the images up on the main screen....not much hype.
But I suppose if a buyers interest was there, they didn't need to see it "again". Would it have made a difference on stage?

[Mr70]

I agree with not bringing it up stage,too many intricate parts,let alone the stage isn't really big enough to do it justice.
Going to the Brothers collection?

I heard the asking number on that was pretty high and never thought it would go anywhere near to 7 figures as I had heard the asking price was floated?

As cool as it is/was...I would think that $350K is all the money on that setup.

[Billohio]

to someone that saw it in person, There was an electric looking box in the trunk, what did that do? Also was the body mounted that high above the subframe or did it raise up?

[DaveC68]

I believe the trunk housed motors and hydraulics which raised and lowered the car as well as rotated the internals of the drive trains and possibly the front ends/ engine assemblies where changed as part of the original display articulation. None of which remained with it when Mark acquired it.

I imagine something similar to this.

What you did not see was all of the special notes, instructions, etc.... regarding moving it. It's not a sturdy assembly and the separate front assembly was said to be fragile and easily damaged.
