66 Bel Air wagon 427/450hp 4 speed YOWZA!

[csx289]

Cool wagon. It is the Fox car, I viewed the car and the docs when the owner had it at the Scottsdale Kruse auction this past January. Car is legit with obvious signs of being an old drag car. Claimed original paint but my paint gauge didn't like some of it

The seller is the son of the fellow who bought it from Fox. Don't know what makes it a "1-owner" car? The Kruse folks had his head all screwed up telling him it was worth $250k to get the consignment. I was the high bidder at $70k. In fact, I think I may have been the only bidder - those of you who go to Kruse auctions know what I am talking about!

Regardless, very cool piece. IMHO, the 70k+10 points I bid was a pretty generous bid? 77k for a "multi-family" (2 door is a single, 4 door is a duplex, so a wagon has to be a multi-fam??)

I came to my senses after I remembered I just sold my 63 427T/425HP R Code Galaxie cop car with a 4 speed, in original paint, original exhaust, never touched car that was showroom for less money...supposedly it was one of 4 built.

Be interesting to see what the wagon does.
