Would you have bid on this car if there was no afvitavid? If you have a letter for and one against then you have no letter. I am old enough to say that my experience owning and driving these HP cars as "NEW" in their time period is an experience only a few can atest to. I have not seen the word "COPO" in the Dictionary yet.

Phil, did you buy anything?

Billigen,

Thanks for asking!

I bid on three cars. Got out of all three, after quick figuring the 8%, taxes, and transport. Risky business when you are approaching 6 figures and the ringman is in your face!

Mr. Motion,

Let me assist you in understanding this matter:

1. The car was not subject to auction. It was in the preexisting car corall. Offers were being accepted. I first looked at the car on Tuesday. And no I would not have bid on this car because I could have purchaced it outright then.

It did attract quite a following all weekend. There was lots of conversation about the car.

2. The letter that appeared to attest that the car was a true motion car on the dash was a photocopy. There ware no indications that the letter was notorized ("afvitavid"??) at all. The only authentication was Joel's signature.

I am gladdened to now know that you are old enough to know quit a bit about these cars. I recently completed the work on Hassett's 1968 Phase 3 L-88 427. It is a fast car. I have driven it. It also has the real paperwork from Joel and I know exactly what that looks like, and so does Joel.

In fact Joel told me at SCR #6 (Pointing at Marks car after he started it) "This is what I want in my Garage".

I will pass on the dictonary comment... Are we done yet??

I bet that would be pretty nerve racking. Nice job on Marks car!

Those are the new style American Torque-Thrust D's and the fan shroud looks like the poor-fitting BB repop that was selling several years ago. (The new repop BB shrouds are much better, BTW.) Neat looking car with the mags, redlines and mid-year Vette sidepipes. Too bad it has issues regarding its pedigree.

Did you get a photo of the cowl tag???

No. Sorry I did not.
