Wow, folks brought bags of money there.
BAGS of cash.
The 1970 Mach, 428 car. I'm guessing there is no heat shield. The tube connecting the air cleaner snorkel to the heat shield appears to be installed 180 degrees off. Maybe I'm seeing things.
The day 2 bids so far are even more incredible!
I was there Friday....money dripping everywhere....a 1970 Mustang Mach 1 428 SCJ 4 speed at $200K
today even bigger money....B429 at $600K
The 70 GT500 vert sold for 450k plus fees
The 65 350 sold for 650 plus fees
I was there early Friday morning. They allowed me to walk around before the general public got there. I walked all three buildings with Dave Wise who is a noted Mopar expert and does the wise reports
A lot of things that I saw going on, I stuck around until after the event started until about 11 AM
We were doing photo shoots all day today for new cars coming into inventory and I did not go back even though it's 30 miles from me, but I was being updated by my assistant throughout the event
The money that was being paid for cars and for memorabilia, etc., was incredible - I'm sure this event will set a record for a number of different reasons
If youre going to stray off topic then your post counts will go -1
😁
I just received word that the buyer of the 1970 BOSS 9 car was unaware of the fact that it was built/restored as a static show car meaning the car has absolutely no fluids in any of the systems and it was built to be pushed in and out of a trailer and that's it.
I was aware of this when I was there, but there was nothing on the placard in front of the car that indicated that it would not/could not start/run/drive
There seem to be a lot of people buying things they nothing about...my dream is it catches up with them some day
It's clearly in the online description and the catalog I received in the mail. Someones going to drop 600k plus fees and not read all the words?
Correct me if Im wrong, Kar Kraft did not modify shock towers
I believe that's correct. Urban legend as they are different from regular mustang towers, but built that way from ford. Kar Kraft installed the motors i believe.
