A true winning combo.Salt,Ski,Steel frame.Can't be many True Survivor's? Well,Just thinking maybe salt wasn't used much then? Sand mixed with moisture inside a frame ain't good either.

Perhaps after the BJ commission add-on, which I believe is now 10%, so your number is what BJ collected from the buyer. See post #43 for video of the action on that car. Gavel price was $120K, which is what went to the seller.

Actually, the seller pays BJ a fee too...so they didn't get the full 120k.

Once again, the new-car happy smiles of Joe and son, Michael take the win for me. But the quote below kinda sez it all. People do what others consider to be "odd" but it's not really odd at all. We should all be glad we have the choice and chance to do this---select, not settle for something less.

And the last foto from the Frank Class collection just was alarming---to see it heading for the water and then half-submerged. Wow!

"...with that in mind my entire decision to drive 8 hours round trip and buy from Criswell centered around the expertise and professionalism of Mike Furman...."

Nice quote from Disney that certainly applies to Mike specifically, and Criswell in general.

Great testimonial from Joe, and Buzz provided some rare and really cool autographed pics from his racing days.

Surprised, though, that racer Buzz didn’t order the 7 speed manual.
