Somebody linked this to a BaT auction discussion but I thought it would be appropriate to link here as well;

Michael,

Did it still have the live Cobra living in the engine bay when you saw it?   :P

He kept it in the trunk to use at events he attended

From my files. The Webers were removed and the dual quads put back on when I saw and test drove it.

It has super nice body work and paint.

These are difficult times.Ex athelete/reality star ain't gonna cut it for sure...

Like my soon to be ex-state, hasn't one party run the show for decades?

And Arnold didn't run anything. He came up against the public employees unions and found out who really calls the shots.

Note, this isn't a slam against unions in the private sector.

Dumb question:  How do the feds find out?  I have yet to sell a car for a profit, but it could happen some day.  Do states report sales tax to the feds or is it the banks reporting large transactions?

Maybe another reason not to sell at a public auction?

Impressive that a pristine Autolite cookie cutter valve cover cap has been drilled for a PCV connection.

;)

It's not NOS.  ;D   

Drake, I think.  I like the look of it better than a bunch of other options on the market.   Plus it says "Autolite"  Cool  8) 8)

I had no idea Drake made them. It looks good. Kudos to the machinist who cut the hole without  fubarring it.

I bought two real NOS caps. Don't ask how much.   :o
Don't feel bad about your purchase just yet. The one that Drake sells in ether black or chrome is the the 70's style cap with a hole and not the closed emission cap like 67 thermactor cars used. FYI the one's used on 67's typically were plain and not marked with Autolite .

Ahh,

I do feel better now.  ;D

Sold for $203,000.  How would you do your Taxes on that?  Can you write anything off?  What would the IRS get?
I'm in Mi and my capital gains on my 68 ran about 25 percent when I sold in 2013  iirc. I had the car also for 7 years. What sucks is that other vehicles I owned at the time if I sold they wouldn't offset my gains. Vehicles are vehicles but not in the eyes of Uncle Sam.

You just get to share the gains, not the losses.

Looking for her to maybe win her back. (Buy Her)

Anyone Know where she is?

At one time I seriously considered this car.

By chance are you the Idaho owner or the New York owner?
