No such thing as too much money. It's the Steve McQueen provenance.

In the car world $100K is nothing. There are cars that go for millions. And millions.
I know that but it's a 52 straight axel,235, unrestored, lord almighty!!! JMO I watch Mecum auctions all the time, the restored ones go for less than that, 4O-60 K


A functional unrestored car is worth more than a perfectly restored car.
Functional being a key word. It needs to perform as the manufacturer intended.

This song is on my "driving music list" when we hit the road. Have to put the mh on cruise control or we'd be warping into hyperspace with some of the driving rock 😛

If this doesn't fetch at least a half mil I'll be amazed.

As I said in an earlier thread, it looks like Steinbeck's rig from "Travels with Charlie"

Pretty sure that's the only year for the "5 window" GM trucks. Nice piece of history!
