    Car was a bit rough and dirty - rust here and there. Seemed very $$$ for condition. Had to ask about matching numbers, etc.

    Ditto. It sure does make explaining all of the money I am dumping into the car to my wife easy, though.

    After coming back to this thread and re-reading it, I noticed that in reality this is a '66 (based on the VIN) and not a '65 as stated.

    If my memory serves me, this car might belong to Tom Dance. I he told me at Hershey that he was putting his green car in Christies, so I wonder if it really sold for this amount. Maybe Tom can shed some light on the subject.

    I believe Tom is travelling right now; not sure when he'll be back.

    Sure are a lot of knuckleheads out there. I hope the hedge fund business keeps it up so I can skin one of these guys too.
