Re: Help With Selling #1 Car at Auction - Mecum Indy?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bashton</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Take heed to Stevens recommendations. Be with the car as much as possible to answer questions from anyone who may ask. Don't for a minute think that someone who may not <span style="font-style: italic">look</span> like a buyer isn't one!
Prepare some information sheets that outline why your car stands above the others, with plenty of detail and have them available at all times. Don't assume that people know. List your national awards, (cough-cough; MCACN) as they were well earned and respected, not lawn show awards that almost anyone can get.
You have a beautiful car and it will stand out if you take the proper steps to assure it is not lost in the crowd. Be sure it starts right up and runs properly at all times and you have enough high octane fuel. There are a lot of cars there and many that may have more instant eye appeal, but not nearly as many that have the quality of yours.
Best of luck and we'll see you there! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Bob -
Thanks for the advice and kind words. Agree 100% on the quality; other cars can match the rarity, pedigree, etc, but workmanship and attention to detail by Darrell and his team at Supercar Creations is unbeatable. This is one car that won't have to be re-restored by the new buyer.
Thinking about printing up some color flyers with details on the car, awards, magazine coverage, etc.
Car runs quite well; will certainly ensure that it's got plenty of high test fuel for the event.
Look forward to meeting you in May. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]
