Looks like there will be at least three Specials up for auction at the end of June! http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/currentcarlist.aspx?aid=343&sd=06%2f25%2f2010&ed=06%2f27%2f2010 Sven

It doesn't sound like there is much interest in the FFF event this year! Sorry to hear that, since I was hoping to meet up with and park next to other Specials. As previously announced, my car will be sold at Barrett Jackson in June, so will be glad to preview it for anyone who might have an...

I finally bit the bullet and registered my car with Barrett-Jackson for their 25-27 June auction at Orange County (CA). Since there is no reserve, I will not be driving it home this time! Hope to see you at Knott's this year. Sven (Rananim)

It is time to advertise my car on the net, since the auction didn't work out. You can see photos of my car in the gallery or I can email them to you with all the information (too much to include here). I am asking $34,000, but will consider offers. Sven

We returned from our second (and last) shot at the Reno auction. The rumors of lower prices seem to be true, with seasoned observers saying they were down about 20%. Our car was down $8,000 from last year, with the best bid coming in at $24,000. There seemed to be a lot of interest, with a...

Anybody going to Reno next week for Hot August Nights? My car is scheduled to "roll on" at 7:30 PM, Lot #782. I guess we will find out if prices have been affected by the recession, falling dollar, etc. Sven (Rananim)

I am making another run at the HAN auction in Reno. Car is improved and has a better time slot. If you are there, stop by and say hi. Lot#782 http://www.silverauctions.com/auction_view.php?eventid=56&lotid=12305 Rananim

Auction over; I added a note on previous thread in classifieds Rananim

As an update, I did get my car into the auction area and it will up on the block on Sunday. No problems and glad that it passed smog test, but it is on display way off in Lebanon (back area, with all other "Sunday" cars). Paul, I was not able to print out a decent photo of your book cover -...

Does any one know the sigificance of the "basic off standard" production code? An earlier post indicated it meant promotional, but can that be verified? rananim

On Friday I drove my CS to Palm Springs, with wife, Kristi, following in another car. We made a pit stop in Moreno Valley (on hwy 60) and when I got back to the car, found that I could not open the doors - the locks on BOTH sides were jammed. Tow truck guy said it was second car he could not...

I had very different experiences with two parts suppliers that I would like to pass on. I ordered a pair of Ivy Gold kick panels from NPD and they arrived a few days later, but were not a good match (either to the originals or the newer seat covers). NPD credited my account immediately and told...

The issue was brought up in a recent (and probably many in the past) post, but no one offered info. on how many of our cars are still on the road. Might be an unanswerable question.

Has anyone tried to contact Paul Newitt to get permission to reproduce a page of his book or know how to get it? Thanks

I added a lot of info on my car in response to requests under the previous thread. Also started gallery with three photos, more to come.
