 That is all I can say for now. Not teasing on purpose. I was sworn to secrecy.No doubt it will come out shortly. I had to say this much because I know there were others that were sick by the thought of it leaving the country like I was.  :D

Ok Bob, just come out with it and tell everyone that a** monkey bought it.

Probably not Dick Rollins- His buddy Dennis is the money man... Maybe ;)

I can't imagine that any of the A** Monkey guys, Dennis included, would pay that much $$ for a car that they couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't ruin with a bunch of their monkey crap.

Not a lot of prospective customers to bamboozle with BS, at that price point.

Wouldn't be a bad investment at what they paid for it if they charge $20 per person

3,740,000 รท $20 = 187,000 people to get a R.O.I.

Yes, but imagine the horror that poor car would be subjected to, in A** Monkey hands.   

Can't wait to see it with an off-road tire and wheel mounted on the trunklid, bagged and slammed suspension, and Rawling's devil horn hand gesture painted on the doors.

I'm guessing Dana & Frank bought it!

In Richard Rawlings parlance, let her rip tatter chip. Time to do a full resto mod. Woooohoooo!

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Dana and Frank would be my guess as well.

I wouldn't be shocked if it was Craig Jackson.  But. The Mecums are my first guess.
Nothing beats a classic!

I'm wondering how much the enthusiasm for that car will fall off now that it's had its couple of years in the limelight, nationwide tours, and media coverage. 

The auction sale ends the dreamy wonder of "who'll get it?" and "how much $$$ will it go for?"

I'm kind of done with all of that. I wouldn't travel out of my way to see the car, but would stop by the Petersen if it were displayed there for a while. 

Other thoughts?

My thoughts too.  I've kinda moved on.  It was fun to see.  As I have mentioned in prior posts, there was an unusual aura coming from it.  And I'm not normally a superstitious guy.

Bob,

   Rumor has it that it may end up in Florida.

Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

All they need to do is put some 22 inch Foose wheels on it, put out some suspenseful preview hype and then knock out a cable TV show about it.  8)
