Default Trio of '65 L78's
You don't see this too often, three original L78's from the same collection will be auctioned consecutively at Mecum. Should be fun to watch.

I saw these at MCACN in November. Spoke at length with the owner. It is beautiful reference material for those of us lucky enough to have one. Looking these over was like a ride in a time machine.

Are they as nice as they look in the video? Kind of sad they will probably get split up.

No. They are original unrestored cars with all the requisite warts and blemishes. It's breathtaking to see in a world where most C2's have been restored, many more than once. They should be split up. They were not sold together new, maybe now three guys who want one can have one.

It may be on ESPN? But I watch it on my phone or laptop.
