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

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]

Kind of makes you wonder why Red Alert didn't get pushed higher. You'd of thought with all the model kits sold and national records, it would have had a more active reception at the auctions. Do drag cars need to have a blower sticking through the hood to be interesting? Or should the Chevelle been at Barrett-Jackson to tap maximum exposure?

If Red Alert had been at B-J, the announcer would have spoiled the sale by announcing that Chevrolet never put sponsor decals or names on their car doors! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

One of the funky cars was the '56 vette that was customized in '59 with Lincoln headlights and the Hawk grill. It almost had a paint job that reminded you of a Motion car! I am suprised the Superbird did not go for more that it did. Some good prices on some of the stuff, but I lay odds that 9/10s of the high dollar stuff will be finding a home in a museum!
