It sold as a complete collection for I think 1.75 mil.

Anyone we know? Would be nice to see those cars at SCR9 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I don't know the guy but he had a Pebble Beach jacket on. Perhaps Charley knows him.

I don't know him but I also watched him spend 400K plus on a 71 Hemi Cuda at the RM auction in Monterey.

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

The gold car didn't have a certificate from Ed. Also, don't forget, at 1.7 mil, the total comes to $1,785,000., assuming there was no deal cut on the commission. Anybody care to venture a guess on how that would break out among the five cars?

Mike, is that a trick question? It is hard to get to $1.785M using known sales numbers of other cars. Certainly a big premium for buying them together.

Wow. At that rate I bet even his pocket fuzz is pretty valuable. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

What is funny is 10 years from now they will be worth double. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

Yeah, it's pretty tricky alright. I'm just wondering how one would break out the relative values of the '67 vs the '68,& '69 Camaros, and, the Chevelle & Nova. For instance, is 300 each X four, plus 500 for the Nova make sense? Plus 5%, of course.

Maybe, I think he overpaid dearly for them. In ten years they may be worth what he paid for them. You could get a pretty nice ride for what the vig was on the sale..
