I think the expectations were the car was going to bring more than $1m! Then again, the R model should have brought a lot more

I think a 550 hammer and 605 all in price represents a strong and appropriate price for a very important car. Dont know why anyone would have expected a street spec car to bring over $1m personally.

The hammer also represents a strong profit on the car from its sale a year or so ago at Worldwide where it brought in the high 300s hammer price.

The 65-66 market is remarkably strong for good examples, just as it has been for the last 3 years.  Great cars are still, and will continue to, bring great money. Right now, I have a number of buyers who are ready to pay strong money for great 65s specifically and I have sold 2 65s in the past month.

As things pertain to Scottsdale, yes, the prices bid for some of the 65/66 offerings were lower than typical.

With that said, it might be more relevant to look to the quality/originality of the 65/66 offerings from the various auction houses this weekend in Scottsdale as a possible reason for the low results.  A little bit of homework might just leave you a little unimpressed.  As a matter of fact, the percentage of truly scary examples for sale in one weekend in close proximity to each over was mind-boggling. You can always expect one landmine to be lurking in scottsdale any given year but this year there were more than 2. Some of those cars actually brought, or were bid to, remarkably high prices considering what the cars actually are. As an aside, I am not referring specifically to 199 or any other car..certainly not naming serial numbers when I've got no skin in the game.

As Gump said, "that's all I've got to say about that"

Looks great to me!

Hi Vern... I have added the "Most Recent Posts" to the bottom of the home page.

Do you suggest more than 10 showing? ...or some variation?

Thanks

Hey Ron!

I would do more than 10 personally for a couple reasons. I would bet forum traffic will  be insane for the next few days as poeple jump back on. Also, the current list is showing most recent posts so two or more posts on an active thread can take up more spots on the list.

I was more thinking about the same sort of thing that Forum 1.0 had where it just pushed threads to the top bases on which was most recently posted on..IMO many people follow what is happening on the forum only based off that list.

Just a suggestion though...you guys do a wonderful job and you deserve great applause for getting the forum up and running once again so quickly!

Kind regards,
Vern

Might be a dumb question, but how do we (or can we even) get the list at the bottom of the forum home page that use to show active threads?

Just a question, certainly glad the forum is back...

Kind regards,
Vern

Hey dudes!

Unfortunately I never kept a copy of the guide because I never considered that the forum would go anywhere!

I can easily post another one, just takes some time. Stay tuned and a new and improved owners manual guide will be posted at some point.

Sorry guys, wish it was as easy as copy paste..

Kind regards,
Vern (new username with a space and capital letters!..always wanted to do that..i feel so alive)
