Anybody know this car?

Gut reaction is I have seen the pictures before, but cant recollect where. Maybe somebody else has a better memory?

and it is a nice one!

Cool! Good luck, T.J. Sorry to see it go, but I know your efforts are now being focused elsewhere. Great car and a strong runner. One of the nicest driving CSL's that I have ever driven. Pulls hard in every gear and runs like a sewing machine. This is a "two thumbs up" car. I have had this car on my lift and couldn't find any rust anywhere. Not a show car, but it wouldn't take that much to make it that way. T.J.s intention was to drive the car. Car has been well loved.

Care to share the reserve and possibly save the Meccum fees?

I'm afraid it's not that easy. When you consign a car to be auctioned you sign a "Performance Guarantee" which means the car must appear in the auction or you are assessed a penalty, which in this case is a significant amount of money. Additionally, it costs to list a car, so those fees are "sunk costs" at this point.

Interesting...thanks for the clarification.

Not sold at Mecum's

Bid went to 90k, which I thought might be enough. TJ wanted 105k, however. Hope you get what you want, TJ. Good luck.

I wonder how this will show in Hagerty ?

Just passed TJ in Pebble Beach. On the side of the road with auction plates on his car.

Watched the auction on Velocity last night; there seemed to be more fuss over the Saab Sonett that followed the coupe!

Best quote at the auction:

Announcer 1: I think its great to see all these men that brought their daughters

pause

Announcer 2: I'll bet most of them leave here with new cars.

High bid was 90K. I guess the reserve was set higher as it remains for sale.

Reserve was set at $105K per the auctioneer
