Default Re: Briggs Chevelle Sells for $1,150,000

I mananged to pick up a really neat article from '71 on the Truppi-Kling Chevelle...that was discarded after the sale on stage.I forget which magazine it's from but it goes into detail on how they turned this car into the world beater that it was.

I though Jim's Chevelle would have broken the bank but obviously the buyers picked race history over a rare,restored 1 of 1 fantastic example.
You did well Jim but I thought you'd do more...

I'd be curious to see what the Buick GS Stage 1 would do as well,especially with as much race history as that.
I grew up practically living at Mid-County Buick in Brooklyn,NY where my dad worked.I would go to work with him in the summertime and just sit and play in all the '65-'69 Buick GS cars.I have always had a soft spot for BB Buicks!
