Anyone know if all TEN cars from the collection sold at auction? Did any of them? Also, did 1953 #5 sell and for how much?

The three that I saw, two of them did. The Challenge car for $56K & the 9700mi L-82 '79 did. The '69 L-88 Fathon Green Roadster with hardtop did not sell. Reserve was $300K.

Thanks Rick. Any info on my old car, the black/black 64 FI coupe with only 4100 miles? I heard that Vance still had that car as of last year. Also curious about the red/black 64 FI conv.

That black/maroon 65 FI was an incredible car. Wonder where that went?

Michael,

The 64 Roadster had already sold to John Ballard and was in Florida. The Black 64 Coupe also sold but I don't know who purchased it.

Hope Vance is happy! I'm not!
