Awesome and welcome to the site! I was just telling Don yesterday that it was a shame that he put all that blood, sweat and tears into that car and never got an opportunity to show it off. He spoke very highly of you and was very glad to hear the car performed flawlessly on it's maiden voyage (when you drove it home). Again, welcome to the site and looking forward to seeing you and the car at the show. Nice to see where these cars once again bring people together and create new friendships.

-------Robert,,,I got up close and personal with Dons fine LS6 when I had a few minutes at the auction and Im not sure you will have much to do. Go to the fridge, get a cold one (or two) and just sit in the garage for awhile and soak it all in. You are the proud owner of a really well restored LS6,,,enjoy!!!!!!!!!!.........Bill S

Welcome aboard! You bought it for less than his reserve. Tremendous car!

Just goes to show what an impecable restoration and sales description can do besides the fact that its rarely seen and appealing color combination did not hurt.

Too bad Don didn't get a chance to show the car a few times before it found a new home. But for those of you who didn't get a chance to see it, .............

Nice work Sir!

Like the color combo

I watched the auction Saturday night with a room full of car and non-car guys. The one thing everyone could not believe was the way Dana Mecum would literally lean into, and on every single car that crossed the block. That was hard to watch. After awhile it just became a game. I would not want anyone leaning on my cars like that...BKH

Both 69 Trans ams were very nice matching number cars that sold for more than what I thought was market as well as the 64 Grand Prix 421 Tripower 4spd. The 68 GTO 400HO 4spd Convert was an "over the top" resto that sold for 60K? You couldn't restore the car for anywhere near that number. Big surprise was 37K for the 72 442 350 4spd. What an outstanding father and son resto!!!!
Stood there in the staging lanes and tried to guess sale prices but I was way off on some. Anyone know what the sale percentage was?

BTW......Indy rocks big time!!! Best car auction I've ever been to in my life.

I heard that the sales % was around 65% which is a very strong number.
