Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction

[Stefano]

The original announcement was made right here. Nothing changed prior to the hammer, other than Kevin decided to be there on the block with his cars.

<span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;Kevin Hand has decided to sell some of the prominent cars in his collection at the Russo and Steele Auction this coming January 19-23, in Scottsdale Arizona.

Kevin is a long time sYc member and is known for collecting and restoring some of the best Muscle cars and Super Cars available anywhere.

These cars will be offered at NO RESERVE! No games....the high bidder/closing hammer gets the car.

Contact John Bemiss in order to get your bidders pass/credentials.&quot;</span>

Heard that you GUYS and GALS had a GREAT time! GOOD LUCK to the new owner of what i use to call her.. &quot;GOLDIE HAWN&quot;
The &quot;MOF&quot;

I don't understand how an educated seller such as Kevin could sell his cars at Russo Steele, typically a reserve auction, with no reserve? In this spotty market how could a seller risk so much without any protection? Someone sure bought a great car for far less than cost. Something doesn't add up, just like the selling price!! Who ended up with the car???

The buyer was a customer of Nickey Chicago's by the last name of Carlson.&quot;It is clearly evident in the auction world of muscle cars that the &quot;HOUSE&quot;, their circle of a few select dealers, and the dealers customers outweigh the seller. When the gavel drops on a car as quickly as that one did, you know something is up. The auction in this case went with the dealer and his customer. In this case my trust was misplaced and the almighty dollar took over, thats my fault, thats ok, I can sleep at night. When you do the right thing, you expect others to do the right thing. You win some and lose some, in the end, it's the chance you take. I attend auction's twice a week, I know them quite well. I have never seen such a joke, there was a backup in place but that mysteriously changed the minute the GOLD car hit the stage, oh well you live and learn, go Barrett Jackson! &quot; I have to ask why was there a post about something changing when no one even posted about something changing, watch the tape and be the judge for yourself.

Kevin; That makes your statements, and actions, look even more foolish.

And since when did ownership become a prerequisite for knowledge? There are owners of rare cars who know little about their cars while there are non-owners (several on here) who are very knowledgeable about cars they do not own.

Tom, very well put! Amen to that.

TOM, about as Foolish as you looked when you said Mark Hassett's 1969 Monaco Orange Yenko Chevelle was a rebody, about as foolish as you look now knowing that your Yenko Nova got slammed too. For those that are sucked into this protecting each other stuff, simple minds, I expected all of the above especially from the close net group protecting each other! I fully expect Tom to delete this thread or be instucted to. For the real deal [link removed], chew on that Tom Clary. As you can see I post at both real often, right?

Kevin,

If you have something truthful, factual and documentable regarding this situation, which you feel needs to be discussed on a public forum, then by all means share that info here.

There are thousands of active members, who might like to learn more about this situation.

The cars and the way in which they were to be auctioned, along with your own descriptions were advertised right here, first.

I can understand that you were not happy with the results of the GOLD Yenko, however, the Auction did their very best. In light of what other, non original engine COPOs, which actually sold to new owners fetched, that weekend, your GOLD 9561, fell right in line.

You had a much higher offer, prior to consigning the Yenko with R&amp;S from one of our very good customers, which you turned down, as you said that you were willing to take your chances on the Yenko doing better.

The fact that you once were a Car Dealer, and have worked in the retail environment for many years, as well as frequent car auctions &quot;twice a week&quot;, provides you a bit more experience than the average auction seller/ buyer.

[mc25t190]

I never said I had a much higher offer and would take my chances?
