Auburn Fall Auction
« on: September 03, 2015, 08:13:43 PM »
I'm off to the Auburn Fall Auction this weekend.
There is a 65 GS Vert lot #2072.   Anyone know the car?   Thoughts?   Opinion's?
I'm not buying, just trying to get a feel for the market.  I'm guessing the car will have a reserve, I let everyone know what it sells for, if it sells. Nice color combo.

Nice car. Hope it makes their price estimate of $30-35k, but I doubt it. Our Buicks still haven't been getting the $$ they deserve.
The Then & Now car on Hemmings Dan just posted is a lot more car for that price range.

Are we sure that this is a Gran sport?  That's some unusual looking side trim, for a GS.  Or is that just the reflection from the sun?

What was the final bid? I didn't think it would hit the reserve.

I missed the car going through, I was busy with a vendor outside. I was hoping 2X4 caught it.
