They used a Union service to drive cars across the block, and the 80+ year old guy driving my L78 across could not drive a stick and kept killing the car. I asked if I could just drive it across and was told no. Their fix? PUSH THE CAR ACROSS THE BLOCK!

I got the same advice about the phone number and being around the car. The Mecum authorities came by and made me take the phone number off the car, stating that they did not allow contact information on cars because they have a 'after its over' clause and you might try and sell the car after the auction and try and bypass them.

All in all.... I have much better luck advertising on these sites as well as Ebay, but I don't have high end #1 restorations either. Dallas may have been an exception as well.

Rich -

Good points. If they have a non-stick driving geezer getting behind the wheel of my car, I'll have some serious heartburn.

Thanks,
