Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction

[mc25t190]

The buyer was a customer of Nickey Chicago's by the last name of Carlson."It is clearly evident in the auction world of muscle cars that the "HOUSE", 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! " 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.

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

[Stefano]

That is exactly one of my points as you try and spin this situation. You never told anyone that I had a higher offer, which you had turned down.

I don't need to drag that particular individual into this. So at this point I say it happened and you say that it didn't.

Are you saying that you did not understand the consignment agreements which you signed with R&amp;S and did not know what NO RESERVE meant?

There was absolutely no agreement with me or R&amp;S to protect any of your cars, prior to the auction.

In fact, it was quite the contrary. I told the auction and others that I would not bid on any of your cars and I didn't

I even helped some members and customers get bidders credentials in order to potentially bid on your cars.

Guess what.....one of them was high bidder and bought one of your cars??

The fact that, in a drunk' in stuper you decided to try and protect your car to no avail, at the last minute, and that you did not have the necessary line of credit in order to facilitate buying your own car back .....is certainly no ones fault but your own.

Colin is one of most knowledgeable Shelby Enthusiasts, Collectors and dealers I know. He is also a friend. I have no issues referring potential customers to him. I guess I held a gun to your head in order to force you to buy that car too?
