Default Re: News from the Auction front.

Just returned home!! Too much fun! Great to see a bunch of you guys there. Flew home seated next to a German journalist who is doing a story for the German issue of Playboy on the auction, very interesting to get her perception. The truck I bought is really nice. He had it for 12 years, and completed it with all new chrome and stainless, 3" stainless Borla exhaust, new paint and interior, 383 stroker motor, factory air and tach. The fuel tank was replaced with a Blazer 30 gal tank under the bed. I figured that the $20k I paid would just about cover the resto costs if you had a free truck to start with!! It should arrive tomorrow. The white COPO at Russo Steele sold for $89k. The biggest surprise to me was the red '69 crossram Z that sold for $67k plus 8% buyers commission!! Also got a kick out of the guy that bought the Tony Stewart Winstoncup car for $89k!! So as I have stated in earlier posts "just because it is a REGGIE car is it really worth 25%+ more?"
