Title: Me I?m Indy
Post by: 2x4 gransport on April 20, 2019, 07:57:54 AM: On Friday May 17th lot F29 a real nice 65 bamboo cream gran sport 3 speed manual is crossing the block.
Anybody know anything on this car? I might have to get a bidders pass.

Post by: GS66 on April 20, 2019, 09:45:04 AM: This is one of the pictures I have from when it was first for sale. I kind of archived all the cars I looked at or researched back when I was looking for a 65. What state is this plate from? That?s where the car was.

Post by: dsags on April 21, 2019, 10:18:53 AM: Jethrobodine is Jeff Spencer. Just like dsags is me.

Was Lot F29. Bidding went to $40,000 and the seller held on to it. Amazing.

Post by: GS66 on May 17, 2019, 12:54:04 PM: Wow. Risky not taking that.

Post by: cwmcobra on May 17, 2019, 03:48:22 PM: Wow, either the seller is unfamiliar with the market value of these gems or we're the ones with the wrong opinion on market value. Would be nice if prices jumped on these "investments"!
