... there are only a small number of cars (26 total) that are in the National Historic Vehicle Registry...

(FWIW) I keep thinking that this ^^^ could be the "joker in the deck" when it comes to the auction

900,000 Large.

A million is a barrier not many will push past. And with two Bullit's out there, some bidder concern?

You have to think; the car is probably already sold and the process of sending through the auction is just for Mecum's benefit! Advertising and drawing card!  Also you have to think that the owner has it in his head that the car is worth several million dollars.  So I seriously doubt it will sell for anything below 3 million.  Just my train of thought.

Intereting thought.  I wonder what the owner has set as a reserve. 8)

So what are the odds Mecum ends up buying it?

Seems there was/were other cars that sold very quick - and to some too low - that ended up with the Mecums ???

Good poem.  I liked it.  And I had to look up "anthropocene."  "The current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment."  Great word!  Thank you!

I think it's a mistake to sell that car at no Reserve. My number is 4.5 million but you never know. I remember the look of absolute disgust on the owner's face when the hammer dropped on "The Last Sting Ray" at Barrett Jackson in 2007. I was to to the left of the stage on the floor right where the cars come up the ramp watching. It hammered for $600,000. He was expecting A LOT more. At least I got to see the Super Snake rip all the carpet off the ramp up the stage when the guy driving it just touched the gas pedal before it hammered for $5 million that year.
