Steve you make a good point. I also know the Kiss auctions tend to bring the top money and I may be very low. My guesstimates is based on these factors, the white car has great history but there is no mention of original motor and being a race car it is unlikely, on top of that the car appears somewhat rough and chances are the new owner would restore. The yellow car went thru Indy a couple years ago and if memory serves me correctly bid to I think 180ish and the motor numbers had at the very least been restamped (correct me if I am wrong) so prospective buyers are assuming non original motor. The orange car popped up about 5 years ago setting in the field in Colorado with a number of other rare muscle cars, the car at that time had already had an amateur restoration and had the passenger quarter caved in from an accident while pulling it out of the field, in short may be a numbers car but has to be restored for new owner to be satisfied. I hope I am low on all of these especially since I have three in the garage but it seems that at this sale often times jewelry commons higher numbers than authenticity. If any of these three cars aren't the cars I think they are or remember them to be I will apologize now for misrepresenting.
