David, I like your friends approach. His method is best for the blood pressure!
Very possible Ed!-On Ebay about a year ago was a poorly described listing of a 1936 Cord Westchester with a few bad pictures. No way to know if it had a big block chevy and rear drive. A sleepy auction and $16K took the day. Turned out to be an unmolested original that ran. A few months later it was back on Ebay, moved a few hundred miles and had a starting bid at $29K. Go figure.
What this auction confirms is, deals can be had at auctions given the right circumstances. I’ve seen it auto shop bankruptcy liquidations. Large expensive desirable machines going for several hundred $.
Being at these auctions with cash in hand and basic knowledge of what is up can pay off big-provided a crazy isn’t present.
Nice job by the person buying a 1701-I hope he joins the club!
I believe you for sure Bob!
Thanks for the info Stu!

Gene, good eye for the tip. Bill and Greg, good eye on the conversion. From the pictures, even the rear gray color looks off from the rest.

We always looked forward to seeing Bettye at PAS venues-her personality is a genuine joy to be around. We thank her for continuous dedicated effort as Director over the years, making our club better.
We look forward to spending time with her and the ‘handsome hubby’ Bill for many years to come!
