I believe that Miguel sought that one out and the owner would not consider any offer.

Of all the crazy conspiracy claims I've heard about BHO, this by far, is the best one I've ever heard. It's almost believable.

I say that it would fetch about $450k at Barrett-Jackson.

didnt Miguel find this car over a year ago?

classic driver is crediting the find to this Degler individual

I might be.

Im miffed at the gall of Classic Driver giving Degler credit for something in 2014-15 that has been know for many years.

as Miguel points out in his article, as early as 96 info on these rare cars has been known. Even in 2012 Miguel gives credit where credit is due, despite his own uncredited legwork in figuring out where this car was on his own dime.

who is upset again?

just pointing out, that if anyone is credited with opening the door to Cuba, it should be our fellow Peachparts forum member.
