whats the rediculous price? I got more than most Fbodies sell for, but the car had only 23k miles. most people on here wanted a high mile race car, and didnt want to spend over $8k.

I have the projectors sitting in my garage. I want to sell them, but i havnt had time to put up a post.

My guess on the reserve is at least $1k over what i sold it for, which was $13k. It appears that they shipped it to texas (where "his parents' " dealership is).

I am sorry that sucks Dave I would be pretty mad if I talked with the purchaser and they had stated that they would take care of the car then turned around and tried selling it.

Well good thing is you can move on to bigger and better things.

yup... exactly. I really dont think he will sell it for what hes looking. The idiot knew that Barret-Jackson was going to be in orange county this weekend, he should not have shipped it to Texas. I cant express how stupid he was for doing that.

of course i will miss it, but i dont miss the car payment, or the stress of having something happen to it.

so the auction ended at $11k. i feel like i did well. Im sure i coudl have gotten more than what i did if i put more effort in, but i wasnt interested in that.

Wow, pretty rare car. I had no idea Granatelli made a special edition, surprising that it's not worth more.
