It went for $65,000. 71,500 with sales charges. The buyer told me the seller would not talk to him about documentation. He lost a some money on that car. It was a dealer out of FL.

A few years ago there was alot of talk about foreign buyers going after some of these cars with big money and shipping the cars overseas to their new homes. Anyone know much about foreign investors in our collector car markets past or present? I ask because I don't hear anything of it these days.

[/ QUOTE ] I believe it was shortly after the boom started, maybe late 80's or early 90's CS claimed to have found 10 or so Cobra's or Shelby Mustangs in a warehouse that were never completed. I owned a '66 Shelby Must. at the time and was a member of the (just found my Shelby American World Registry hardback dated 1987) Shelby American Automobile Club. I recall that incident causing quiet a stink with these guys as it devalued (or would have) their cars and made their "hero" look like a first class crook. I recall CS and the club being very close prior to that incident but you don't see the SAAC and CA arm in arm anymore. At least I don't. |

about the bidder assistants these people work on a commission just as the auctioneer so its there job to get friendly and do whatever it takes to make a big sale they only get this chance once a year to make that 5 mil sale so for some there whole year earnings depend on this sale you dont slap a waitress when she is friendly at a restaurant I hope

They split all commissions and get a bonus for hitting a certain target in total sales.
