Talk about a flooded market!! I wonder what there sales rate will be? 35% any other guesses?
Id love to have the Gang Green Nove built on Rags to Richs.. Does anyone know anything about it? I see its been at every auction there is for the past year and a half.. Either it keeps getting flipped for a loss or the car is junk and the new buyer is looking to bale?

I talked to the guy who bought it at Barrett or at least said he did.. Maybe the deal fell through or he was playing dumb with me. I just love that style car! nothing beats an old straight axle gasser car.
I believe Reggie/Chip bought it then sold it at Mecum or Palm Beach then it went to another sale and then to Scottsdale. Pretty decent quality for being quickly built on a TV show.
PS Hows it going in sunny AZ? You better he practicing on those go carts or I will mop the track with you come January!
I still think we need to make a SYC Club day of it too.

Bruce....don't be rediculas, your pics are always the best and I always look forward to each and every one!! I always get so much enjoyment from your pics at the Pavillions because it's so far away from where I live, I just thought I owed it to you to post some of the muscle that get shown around here since you and a lot of others can't be here. I'm sure that I can speak for Ken and the others that have posted pics that there's no way we're letting you retire from picture taking. You my friend, just keep those great pics comming from out your way, and I'll try and do my best to hold the fort down here in the midwest and try not to dissapoint! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I will occasionally post some pics from time to time (I have a few tonight) but it's the time of year where your area (the midwest and back east, too!) is starting to ROCK! So...that's what I meant by my statement. It's time for you guys to post 'em up!
