I bet you it wont beat a private sale that has ALREADY happen! The prices have already moved up before this even goes off on the auction block !! There is no doubt the corvette world will be watching this sale! Hope Buddy hits it out of the ballpark, great guy!!

Seriously though, here is yet another example of a car bringing more at auction than it would have in a private sale. It has been available for purchase for the last year for 2.5 million with no takers. It goes to auction and it sells for 3.2 million plus fees. I am happy for Buddy.

I saw Charley and Chris Piscitello on TV today at Mecum. Chris bought a nice red 427 Vette! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

They made 10 converts &amp; 10 coupes and yes if you sell a Vette for millions you are going to pay Uncle Sam his share.

The owner of this car lives on Corpus Christi and I’m in that town lots on business. He is a friend and I visit him at his business on occasion when I’m in Corpus. He has lots of cars; the L88 is the premier car in his collection. He’s liquidating his entire collection for health reasons. The first time I saw this L88 was at Earthquake ’88 in Bloomington, the last time I saw it was at the NCRS National event in 2006. Buddy has had it at our Texas Regional for judging. It’s a great car and the circumstances of its sale are sad.

Tim, I hope that it sells for a record price. It's never a good thing when someone has to sell for health reasons. It does make you realize what's important.

And for anyone interested in seeing some of the REAL 1967 L/88's, I am proud to say with the assistance of Mr. Kevin Mackay, we have commitments from the owners of NINE of these historical Corvettes for the upcoming Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show, November 23-24.

With any luck, the new owner of this one will consider joining us too!

Oh...and we're not done yet...
