Lee, ALL the best of luck to you my friend. I sincerely hope your car is the one that shatters the records, and sets the standards by which the others are compared when it comes to a selling price. I don't know the entire story of the car that sidetracked this thread, but it does make for some interesting reading. Your documentation will show what the REAL STUFF looks like. I'm most interested in the results of the Russo-Steele sale. I met Drew Alcazar at Pebble Beach, and he seemed like a gentleman to me---he didn't know me from Adam, and I introduced myself, and commented on his car at the show, and how well his auction business has grown. A very cordial and friendly car show competitor, he took the time to chat, and ever the businessman asked if I could use his services and I politely declined saying that I am friends with the Goodings. He is, by the way, a former Barrett-Jackson employee----not that I am insinuating anything, just didn't know if you knew it. I will say that I have never heard of any shenanigans associated with his auctions, I know some people that are very happy doing business there and were quite pleased with the results.
Not to sidetrack or hijack your thread here, buy I'd just like to add a couple comments---and they are ONLY comments---I don't know all the facts surrounding the Rally Red car. If all those pictures were taken to show numbers, dates, codes and such, then why no pics of the famous W-27 rear, and the famous unparalleled paperwork--where are the photos of that. And someone mentioned (if I read it correctly), that "Mark" owned it and sold it. If I may ask, who is "Mark" and where and when did he own and sell the car. Again, at this point, I'm still just trying to connect the dots.
Again, LEE--ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND LET'S HOPE THAT THE FIASCO SURROUNDING THIS (the rally red) CAR IN NO
WAY HARMS THE POSSIBILITY OF YOU AMD YOUR WIFE OBTAINING ALL THE MONEY POSSIBLE FOR YOUR CAR!!!
