Yenko at Toronto Auction

[Stefano]

Something just doesn't sound right about this?

Does not sound like the same car that was at Russo. Wonder if these guys are using it as a draw to their auctions and at the same time waiting for that REALLY BIG BID!!! Jim

4 or 5 years ago I was seriously interested in a L34 RS/SS Ragtop that was at the Auction. It was owned by one of the Muscle Car Dealers in the area. I won't mention his name, but you've all seen his show on Speed Channel. When this car came up for auction, the bids wre coming in, but I saw no one bidding on the car. It quickly went beyond what I felt the car was worth. Next month, the same dealer still had the car for sale. When I called him about the car, he just said the deal fell through. I believe they had someone bidding just to drive up the price of the car.

I agree with Nicola and Thomas. It is the same style of Auction just a different day! Canadians for which I am one don't step up to that plate unless there is something left on the bone. See you at the Cruise on Monday Nick!

I heard today that the car was already sold before the Auction, but was left in to draw people. I don't know who the car was sold to, but I know the person/company that brokered the deal.

[Stefano]

Do you know the purchase price?

[Thomas]

Sorry, I have no idea. I may find out at future date and let you know. In this area everyone always seems to know everyone else's busines when it come to cars, so sooner or later that info will come to light.
