There was a Yellow one at Barrett that did some where around there I thought it was over 500k but I might be wrong.. I think it was found in pretty rough shape dont know about the motor or tags though.. with that price Im sure it reflected something being wrong though.. Pretty sure it was Steve Klein's car.

That would be cool to meet up.. were going down on the 3rd and staying until sunday, Im sure I will roaming around most of the time, my wife usually takes my truck and goes off shopping (only reason she goes.. lol) and Im stuck at the resort..

PS. i have used Galen on all my mopars and like and respect him.
i also think Dana Mecum's auctions are the best of the lot.

My comments are general references to sellers who......

I know what your sayin' I dont take any offence to the comments on the above car. For what the seller wants for it I could very easily end up back at my place if he has a few beers before it cross's the block and is in the giving mood or wants to take a beating on it. lol

I promised my wife I wouldnt bid more than 50k on any car. That would sure piss her off to see that car back home agian. lol

From what I recall it was obviously a high option car from what evidence was still with it. The louvers were factory installed based on the mounting details, etc; the rear wing was original with the factory mounting plates and factory punched holes, not drilled; the billboards still had remnants left in the door jams; it was a rallye dash, leather interior car...Hey, Why the hell didn't I buy that thing? What an idiot I am.

Now I remember: I think Tom and Greg were having a disagreement at the time over funding the restoration and proceeding forward, and as a friend and coworker I didnt want to get in the middle of it if I then bought it, restored it, and sold it for some crazy price.

At the time I had too many cars anyway and no more room in the storage garage: a yellow 69 hemi Daytona, the red 70 hemi R/T-SE (I still have), the orange and white 71 hemi Charger R/T sunroof car (that Tim Welborn now has), my Dad's 67 427 Corvette, the Project Pit Viper, my 1970 Raleigh Chopper bicycle, my wife's car, and my truck (which sat outside of course...)
