Ron said that is his BASH car so he doesn't have to "rush" the fastback project.

So you got it, huh, Ron? Looks pretty good. Apparently, the title wasn't a big issue.

I was sitting beside a guy from Colorado Springs that does high end restoration for a living and he told me that getting a VIN from Colorado was a major pain, but once you get one, it is rock solid.

I went through the assigned VIN process here in Colorado when I built my Cobra. It was time consuming and only a few motor vehicle people actually knew what to do but if you follow all the steps it goes well. Sold the car to a guy in Nebraska and he had no problem with the transfer and subsequent registration.

Doesn't have anything to do with not rushing, has everthing to do with Cathie rewriting my project schedule and putting the Master Bath at the top.

Means the guy writing the sales copy is not the guy that did the resto.

Ok how many cars did you pick up,, was it you that got the GT40 for 7 mil ??

I looked at the GT-40, but it was right hand drive and no AC. I was close by when they cranked it up to drive it up on the display platform. The exhaust note from that Cobra 289 would had made Sally wet his pants. I don't know if it was necessary to rev it to six grand to make it up on the plarform, but I'm glad they did and I'm glad I was standing there to hear it.
I highly recommend hanging around the storage hall the day before the auction; they drive all the cars in and you get to hear what they all sound like (except the Cobra Drag Snake, they towed that one in). With it being indors and many cars having high duration, high overlap cams, it was being on the starting line at the strip. My eyes are still watering.
