Had the trailer hooked up, floor jack loaded, a set of wheels in the truck and was planning on heading over after work today. Weather hit and I just couldn't bring myself to make the drive across I-80. Maybe next time.

Auctions are never a sure thing....all it takes to ruin your day (or trip) is for there to be one bidder that's willing to out spend you.

Here are a few pics of the car up for grabs:

Mike reported it sold for $2600.
He picked up one of the 67's. The other 67 sold for $1700 and immediately showed up on eBay for $3500!

Latest news from 'Funky Riv' is the car is being flipped....it's now for sale for $3500.
Especially sad to see the Nailhead was swapped out and a 455 swapped in. Too bad, since this was an AC car.
