Greg,
Where would you suggest I try to park at the fairgrounds and what gate to go in? What building is your car in? What building is the auction block in? Thanks, Jim

Congrats Greg! Nicely done. You looked pretty good on TV and the commentators had nothing but good things to say about the car.

Chris - where were you? I thought you'd be in the thick of things up on the stage but I didn't see you. Anybody know that guy who was bidding on the car? Seems like we saw him at Milt's auction didn't we? Sure looked familiar to me. Was he the same broker who bought Milt's 69 tripple black vert Judge?

The bidder was Chris P. from Texas. He was bidding and won it for a friend.
Congrats to Greg- well done!

The car was simply stunning to see in person today. If that was my car it would of been very difficult to part with it. As I have said before black is the new resale red. Congrats to Greg and also Darrell who sold his 69 Judge for 72,000 which was cheap if you ever saw that car. It was nice talking with Paul and Doug again too. I will see you all in Norwalk. Jim

What's not to love about that car? Is he going to show it, store it or drive it?

He did say that he probably would not drive it. Museum piece it sounds like to me.

Well-its been over 10 years since this car was restored. Current owner says car has held up really well. He said it still looks like it just got done. Price has gone up a little too- says he turned down $300000 for it a few months back. I am glad that I got to restore so many really neat and rare cars. Thanks to everyone on here who helped along the way. The guys that worked on these cars had just as much pride as I did in them. Have a Merry Christmas and. Let’s Go Brandon!!!

Whoever ordered that car new deserves a big trophy and a handshake from all of us.
300g's was a heckuva compliment to the car.


You definitely brought a lot of really great cars back to life.
Did you keep notes or records of them all ?

Merry Christmas to you and yours .

I lost most of the pics of restorations and a lot of cars when the site I kept them on just wasn’t there anymore one day. The last complete restoration we did will be going across the block Jan 15th at Mecum Kissimmee. Lot number is S96. 1970 ram air 3 convertible with 4 speed and air. One of only 22 built. Numbers matching. Atoll blue- blue interior- white top. Comes with over 30 years of registrations from original owner. Also added VOE exhaust kit. Gauges - hood tach - am fm- ac - 4 speed- walnut shift knob and more. I think I will probably go check it out one day during the auction. Pics they have don’t do it justice
