65 GS convertible at August 23-25 Mecum

Pretty high end auction.   Some high end cars listed in the catalog they sent me.   Red convertible with black top.  Auction is in Monterey.

Will be interesting to see what it goes for.  Will be broadcasted on NBC-SN according to the flyer.

Rob,

Will definitely be watching that auction. The car was formerly mine. There is an interesting story here.

I sold the car on eBay for $27,000 in 2014. In 2017 the buyer sold it at the Mecum Indianapolis auction for $29,700 (including 10% buyers fee). That buyer listed it on Craigslist in 2018 for $35,000. He told me it actually sold for $30,000. That buyer is the one who has given it to Mecum for sale in Monterey.

That same person has also recently had the car for sale on eBay for $45,000 which was later reduced it to $39,500. As the saying goes: Good luck with the sale.

Dear Rob, Dan, Jim, and mid-60s Buick fans who find very interesting car stories . . . .

Wow, that car is getting around some!


. . . . You can say that again!  With the amount of travel this car is making I do hope it is getting frequent flyer miles! . . . .

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
