From the limited coverage on TV, my favorite car was that R-code Fairlane. Very cool car.

Who is Goldberg? I was told the other Bidder on the "Lawman" was a Professional Wrestler. It sounds as if I gave up too soon. I wouldn't know if all old race cars bring high dollars, but this one with it's unique history appears to have.

Goldberg is the Wrestler.Famous race cars are very sought after and are bringing very big money !!

I thought the Lawman would go at least $150K as I have seen a few historical drag cars in the 150-200 range. The Lawman has a more interesting history then many of the other ones. That may not have been the best place to sell a car like that. here is a web site on the Lawman.

Kevin,
I am no speculator but I think this would have been a very good investment. This was very big news during the Viet Nam era and I think this cars value will like keep climbing. I can recall many stories my brother told me about these cars on his tour. Quite a history.

I am aware of some of the history of the Lawman and would prefer the 1964 Fury Hardtop Race car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img] I don't follow the race cars but had heard that the Mustang sold was the back up car??? So who has the other one?

The recycler. A shipping crate fell on the car during rough seas on the way overseas and crushed it.

Dana was bidding for "PuffDaddy". Thats Puff with a beer in his hand, next to him. If you look close you can see 'ssl78' pinching him everytime he bid.

If you know of another survivor quailty L78-4 speed Rag Top Camaro of the same calibur for less,let me know I'm in.

Even 1970 L78-4speed Ragtop Chevelles are bringing six figures [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Kevin,

I think the next time you go to an auction, you need to have a satelite linked laptop so you can research cars on the spot. This looks like it was a "keeper". The "Lawman" Al Eckstrand was quite a racer while with Chrysler. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, but if I got stubborn and bid him up to $175K, he may have come to look me up. Body-Slam, on the mat, ouch! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
