Re: Mecum car prices
[ QUOTE ]
The "Rocket" car belongs to a very close friend of mine here in Greensboro. He decided not to sell the car and bought it back. His son started getting upset the night before he was to leave town and head to Indiana. No money would have bought it. He called me when he got home and told me he was offered $700k with a trade to sell it. The guy that made the offer told him he thought it was a million dollar car, but, of course didn't have the money.The seller has plenty of money and believe me when he made up his mind he wasn't going to sell it , no amount of money would have bought it. It met reserve if that tells you anything. I have been up and down that car numerous times. He has it on a lift in his garage. You should see the workmanship that went into that car. It is wicked mean! [/ QUOTE ] wait...did'nt i see the rocket car sell the weekend before last at the mecum auction? i saw the reserve met and hands being shook!!!!!lloked like a done deal to me......

Re: Mecum car prices
You saw the owner in front of the podium buying his car back. I spoke to him at length and he was really regretting selling it. He hoped it would not meet reserve but if it did he would just bid to buy it back until he felt he couldn't bid any longer. Nice guy that realized just what he was giving up. He had it stored on a lift, under a cover and kind of forgot just how special of a car it is.

[/ QUOTE ] wow! nice story!!! i like that.....so he was able to keep his car after a quick sellers remorse...... i'm glad the buyer let him have his car back....i would have done the same thing.....good story!!!!! still good people out there..i hope he wasnt out of pocket much.......hope the auction house voided all fees......but i kind of doubt it....
