Truppi-Kling LS6 RM Auction Results

[gb70]

When it was at the BJ auction in '06 I remember seeing the bidder, buyer drinking and a girl on his lap thinking cool car over priced. Granted '06 was the height of the market IMO, but that was too much then. Was that the same year they had that GM bus of the future go for like 4 mill?

Yes...on all counts.

Anyone know why the seller decided to part with all of those prime cars? I know he didn't need the money.

Bob, I seem to remember the owner being a hedge fund guy and we all know how those have fared lately.

If he really is (was) a hedge fund manager then he probably needs some of that money back now that the whole thing has collapsed. (He must not have been very good at seeing the future--something a hedge fund manager, or any money manager should need to know, ya' know?) Seeing him (or his proxy) pay those prices at B-J a few years ago without care and now seeing him basically 'dumping' everything he bought should tell you something about the stock market vs. reality. Welcome to reality!

A friend of mine bought Lot #240, the Bennie Osborn Top Fueler; makes a nice bookend with the Tony Nancy "Sizzler" Top Fueler he bought in August.
