Guess I'll be saving for a while; my car budget right now is a tad short for that ride.

Them Mecum auctions are going to give Barret-Jackson a run for thier money. I know a few people that have been to both, and they all say that the Mecum is lot better.

I think Barret Jackson's no-reserve only auction keeps a lot of truly significant cars like these away. They are going to get labeled as a muscle car auction if they stick with it. I'd prefer to see more prominent race cars cross B-Jackson's block than a bunch of muscle cars with no reserve. IMO

Well if I had 7 and a 1/4 mill to burn I would probably buy it also! Great car with a ton of history behind it!

That's a lot for a used car. Fuel mileage must be horrible. Too bad it's too old to clunk for cash.
