69 b/motion vette @ barrett jackson

There was talk that Goldberg was going to bid on the BM Vette, but never did. He just doesn't look big on TV, he is even bigger in real life, I should know.
George painted the BM Vette, and did one heck of a nice job!!

Yes he certainly did!

Anymore confirmation on where it actually went & to whom?

George told me that he should be back in NY by tomorrow or Thursday. I will ask him who bought it, since I didn't see him after the BM sold, and left at 5am on Sunday morning. Rick, I will let you know what I find out.

I called George last night and he was in western Okla for the night and down with a cold. He said he was sure that the new owner would be in contact with him since he still has the document from Joel reguarding the car and he was sure they would want to get that from him.

He promiced to post who, just as soon as he finds out.

Has anybody asked Sandlin if he knows anything about it?

Not sure if this is helpful,but while re watching the auction on tape,the receiveing Telephone auctioneer(Pete Davis?)who has the bidder on the other end,looks directly into the Camera lens and says,"THANKS RICHARD,THATA BOY,THANKS RICHARD,THANK YOU",then gives two thumbs up.
The Narrators say that he was referring to the winner of the B/M Corvette.
It could have been an inbetween,but are there any well known Car collectors named Richard living in Las Vegas?

Steve didn't buy it.

Yes.. it was Richard Simmons who bought the car.. He's hoping it'll give him a boost of masculinity....

"OKAY PEEEOPLE! LET'S START THE CORVETTE!!!"

(Vroom, VROOOOM!)

"OKAY, LET'S REV THE ENGINE AND DROP THE CLUTCH AND SEE WHAT HE'LL DO!!!"

(Mr. Simmons refers to all of his cars as "He.")

(VROOOOM, VROOOOOOOM . . . SCREEEEEEECH!)

"OH DEAR HEEEEELLLLLLLP---HAAAAAAAAAALLLLLP!!!!"

(Sound of rapidly-accelerating and very manly 427 Corvette fades until all is quiet. Richard Simmons' obituary appears in newspaper the next day.)

Bill..... that just seemed to flow out a little too "comfortably"...

Is there something you need to tell us?

It's Sunday, it's raining, my PST brake rebuild kit ain't here yet and the car's up on jackstands, I'm hungry, the wife's running errands, the kids are playing some water-mess game in the bathroom sink, and I'm bored out of my mind. Otherwise, everything's a-ok. Well okay, my first grade teacher, Mrs. Heller, did tell me back in 1968 that I had an "active imagination."
