Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.
I think they said they paid 2,100.00 for the red 63, 7000.00 for the silver 67, 4,000.00 for the yellow 67 and 2,200.00 for the green 63. I will ask what they paid for the 56. But you have to keep in mind that the Gentleman has Alzsheimers and if I ask again the prices could come out different. I know his investment was better than mine as I looked at a nice 59 the other day for sale and it was not much more than my 56 purchase price. They were firm on their price and maybe if common sense had prevailed I could have walked away but then I would not be able to tell this tale for years. I doubt if I will ever find a pile of cars like this again in my lifetime.

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.
Boy do those prices bring back some memories of when I ran Super car's, used car lot here in Tulsa 72-86. I seldom paid more than 3 grand for any older vette unless it was something special.
I just wish I had been able to hold on to all the good ones that I sold back then. I paid just over $6,000 for both of my Motion Vettes but that was back in '73 & '74. Inflation on all of these kind of cars, has gone way past my wildest dreams of what the future prices might bring. I remember well that I was hoping that my Motion vettes would be worth around $60 to 70 grand each someday. Boy was it a supprise what they will bring nowadays. (No they are not for sale, so don't ask) Man some day the tax man is going to make me cry when I have to sell them before I get too old.

Re: Chasing the Local legendary cars.
That was exciting just reading and seeing the cars.Nice to see them go to the right person instead of being scarfed up by a broker.
Agreed that FLV327 plate is borderline surreal,but then again the whole deal is.Never knew Strough had a dealership in Southgate,I guess a Harry Mann AND DANA vette would be asking for a tad much after a score like that. Next time I race at Thunderhill I fully expect to see a "ROUTE 66 detour,next exit" sign as I'm passing Woodland,lol-
