That must have been one neat auction

Great story. I can't wait to see it after a light fluff and buff.

On another note, the a build date of 06A, the VIN to this car would have to be close to the COPO motor I sold recently. The VIN on that block was 650498.

Man, what a great find! My congrats as well! Drive it like you stole it.

Did I miss someting or was it never stated why the car was parked and remained untouched since 1974?
BTW, perch perogies at the Whip sounds pretty good!

If Dave wanted to announce the price he would have but since he wants to keep it to himself please give him the courtesy and drop the subject. The price was a fair market value for a COPO missing the original engine/trans and the family of the late owner did well with the sell. Mark
