I haven't seen an auction from Herb in along time. He sure finds some interesting cars.

Every time I see one for sale I'm tempted. All I would need is infinite time, space, and money to have all the toys I want (Actually, any 2 of the 3 would probably work).

That would look awesome next to the 6.9. But TWO celebrity cars is a bit much However it is Steve McQueen...

A thorough restoration for $50K? I think it would be better to just leave it as it is.

It doesn't matter, whoever buys it will tear it down for restoration anyway.

Ok, I received quite a bit of hate mail for the freon...Yes I could have charged it...I also could have changed the belts, hoses, and all of the fluids...But the idea is that I am selling it to someone for a complete restoration..and maybe my $50k figure is light.... Who knows. But I do know that if a pair of Mcqueen's sunglasses fetched $70k last year, the car has to be worth something!

If I start fixing it, I don't know where it would end...

Unbelievably , the air suspension works great...Go figure.

Im proud to say I was the first bidder on that car. It went above my bid in 15 minutes.
