I was at the auction today and cannot believe what i saw. The car was bid to
$131,000 U.S. and was announced as sold.
I was later told that there were some
"issues" regarding the reserve and the seller did not accept that offer. WOW!!!!
Seemed like a nice car but not by any means a concours type restoration. Does anyone
know what happened?

Wow is right! Hey BKPH, maybe you should raise your asking price.....!!!

oops, i mean bkhpah

Re: Yenko at Toronto Auction
 

I was at the auction myself and find it hard to believe that the high bid was "real money".If the high bid was truly legit they should have their heads checked for not accepting it.The car is not of concourse quality and is owned by the auctioneer's, need I say anymore.You will probably see the car again in Michigan at the next RM auction.

Something just doesn't sound right about this?

Re: Yenko at Toronto Auction
 

Does not sound like the same car that was at Russo. Wonder if these guys are using it as a draw to their auctions and at the same time waiting for that REALLY BIG BID!!! Jim

Re: Yenko at Toronto Auction
 

4 or 5 years ago I was seriously interested in a L34 RS/SS Ragtop that was at the Auction. It was owned by one of the Muscle Car Dealers in the area. I won't mention his name, but you've all seen his show on Speed Channel. When this car came up for auction, the bids wre coming in, but I saw no one bidding on the car. It quickly went beyond what I felt the car was worth. Next month, the same dealer still had the car for sale. When I called him about the car, he just said the deal fell through. I believe they had someone bidding just to drive up the price of the car.

I agree with Nicola and Thomas. It is the same style of Auction just a different day! Canadians for which I am one don't step up to that plate unless there is something left on the bone. See you at the Cruise on Monday Nick!

Do you know the purchase price?
