Did we see this car for sale a couple times on eBay earlier this year? Or am I thinking of another car in the 400s?

Believe it was  on BAT and at Mecum at Indy earlier this year. Sure the guys that track when cars are up for sale, when sold and that sort of details will provide more details

I did. Nice car with a older restoration that was really showing its age.

I sold the car to the current owner (or at least as of yesterday)... it's never been on eBay although a few other cars in the 400s have been.

The car was a no-sale a few times most notably at Mecum Indy which was a hard sale to sell anything at....horrible results all around at that sale.

Strong price yesterday though!

Kind regards,
Vern
