I'll be there!!

 

I know why. It's to buy the 288 GTO!!!! Want to split it?

Gene

 

geno, u know me too well!!! are you going?

 

it's a "no reserve car" It will be interesting to see if it goes over or under the $100k figure

 

I am not. I will however be at Cavallino. I talked to Joe Sacky about this 288 GTO, he thinks it's a very nice example and think it will sell in the upper range of the reserve. I would be very happy at the very low end or at $350K!

Say no to drugs! Or what ever else you're on...

 

Gene, I'm talking about the Boxer; not the GTO.

 

Good day All,

The Gooding GTO (56343) just sold for $560K USD...

Cheers,

Sam

 

And the Boxer sold for,,,,,,??

John

 

Hammered for $90k 5 mins ago. Under $100k for a good one - one of the best deals of the evening I think.


Onno

 

Oh, sorry...

 

Well Mark, were you the buyer of that 288 GTO? Do tell my friend...

 

i know a GTO is a great car but for 1/6th of the price a boxer is the classic car deal of the decade...

 

Here's the list of the Gooding auction results, which include a 10% buyer's premium.

How was the carbed Boxer, on a 1- 10 scale??

 

geno, did not end up w the 288, I stopped at 400k and it whizzed right by me..The carb boxer was very nice except for one of the ugliest rear bumpers Ive ever seen. otherwise, the car was a steal IMHO. I cheated on both my ferrari and porsche friends..Bought a 100 pt 62 E type roadster, had one in college and have been looking for a while, paid less than the cost of the resto!

 

Bumpers can be fixed, thanks for the update, and congrats on the Jag!!!!

 

Does anybody know what the two went for at Russo and Steele?

 

NICE purchase!!!!!!

 

Mark I also had dreams of buying that GTO closer to the low reserve estimate. I was even going to register and bid remotely. I than awoke, smelled the coffee and decided that I would be wasting my time. I was right, the car sold for what I was expecting. Congratulations on your E type. A 1962 flat bottom roaster. Has always been one of my of my favorite cars. Now you got two classic English open tourers.

Gene.

 

It's the sound of me eating my heart out. Mark, you have great taste and fantastic timing. The 288 GTO will soon be in your price bracket. In the interim, enjoy the E Type. It is definitely on my must have list.

Cheers,

Keith

 

That's a steal.

 

The 512BB looked to me like a #3 car tarted up with a fresh paint job. Worn interior, rusty undercarriage and leaking oil. I'd say decently bought but not a "great" buy.

 

thanks keith, gene, and gary!
