Did they say who the buyer was? Not that it will ever see the light of day again

Unless I missed something, and believe me I often do, all you have to do is put in an e-mail address and you can see results and watch all live mecum auctions...its actually pretty cool because if you then go to You Tube you can cast to your TV....unless an older TV...

Regardless, all C2s are "on fire"...as are C1s....heck even mid 70s C3s are going for good prices....good time to enjoy cars...

I have seen all 5 of Cohens cars in peron on more than one occasion. Believe me when I say this has to be in the top 5 of all SWCs in existence.
I was in LICS last week and talked to Rich's son about the auction coming up. I got the impression the 63 if sold is the only one he was going to miss so maybe they just keep it now.

Gimmick is in when they bought the last 67 they had all kinds of hoopla along with it for a few years before the novelty wore off then they sold it to Rick H.

I under stand the significance of this car and how rare it is and it will sell it self and it’s a once in a life time chance to own it.

Sales prices include fees :

1963 $355k No Sale
1964 $231k sold
1965 $368.5k sold
1966 $412.5k sold
1967 $418k sold

I mentioned some sale prices in another thread but that was after they left the block and were final bid numbers. These include the premiums.

No need to be suspicious. I was there and I can assure you that the cars all sold. I also heard that the 63 has been sold post block.

The Mecum site still, as of ten minutes ago, lists the '63 as a "Bid Goes On", so I doubt a deal has been finalized. As to them all being "sold", yes, but the question is to who? The auction house? The consignment owner? Those possibilities have happened many times before.

Since I saw bidders signing for the cars, I will reiterate that the sales are what they are.

OK, so who were these mysterious bidders who signed for the cars?

I am not going to give out names on the web but since I saw three of them introduce themselves to the seller after the fact should tell you something. Maybe you are right and I am just imagining things

No, no, that sounds legit, I just found it odd no bidders were ever shown on TV, and having been involved with Mecum tricks before, I get suspicious when things like that happen. I saw a '65 SS Plymouth Hemi race car jacked up to $450K in a NY minute, only to stop there (near reserve obviously) and of course no bidders were ever seen.
