Well, I was at the Kruse auction specifically to watch this car cross the block, and I commented on it in Octobers ACtion. I'm slightly puzzled as the auctioneer congradulated "Mark from St Louis" and told the audience it was going to a great restoration shop there. I guess anythings possible in the auction world. The current sellers idea of a "just paint it and drive" is far different from mine. The photos dont show the numerious dings & dents all over. Looks like the two big ones were slightly bumped-out to look presentable. It needs lots of work, I wouldnt trust 35 year old brakes. I wish the owner good luck at the next auction, wonder what kind of reserve he has on it,,,,,,,,,,,,,Bernie
