Mecum Auction in Florida at the end of January

[mrrec]

Dennis, yes you did tell me and I never doubted this bunch. I've been overwhelmed with the offers for help, well wishes, prayers, etc. This all comes from people I have met, but also from some whom I have just chatted with. I believe this is one of the "tightest" groups of real car people out there. Thank you.

On the whole, I was happy with what my previously owned group of cars did at Mecum. I sold nine cars to an individual who placed six in the auction. I had no risk since I was not the consignor. Risk is not something I can tolerate for my family at this stage.

With this sale and the sale of a few others this past year (67 Z, 67 L78 Camaro 10k mi, 70 LS6 18k mi, 70 SS396 12k mi and Z16s) I am down to just a couple of cars my family will keep including a 69 SSRS 396 conv I first bought in '79 and was married in and a 67 SS396 Chevelle project that my son and I hope to have done for the Gibb show.

The attached photo shows me touching - for one last time - the Z16 that was hardest to part with........
