The guy that bought it is the same guy that bought #003 1953 Vette for 1,000,000 at BJ auction
you forgot that his driving instructor is goin to be Ron Fellows.

I agree with Kyle! BJ has fucked the private sale value for everyone. Now some fvcktards think just because they saw a 67 mustang or a 69 camaro sell on BJ for $400k+ then they expect to sell their half *** restored cars for a ridiculous amount of $$
