Thanks Don & Ginny

Once again our activities chairperson,Don Terranova ,has pulled off another great event .The trip to the AC car show was enjoyable & not damaging to any CCDVers' pocketbook.
The dinner at Angelo's was up to its usual standards & thanks to
Ginny Wydominic for arranging it.

In response to Mark's inquiry elsewhere,I watched the auction for 2 hours.A kind hearted usher,recognizing my advanced age(& Sopranos' demeanor) let me sit in a seat directly in front of the stage.Having been conditioned by countless(wasted) hours watching Barrett Jackson,I was surprised at the low percentage of cars sold( maybe 20 %) & the ridiculous reserve prices set by most prospective sellers.

You have to wonder what planet some of these people are from?
Someone turned down a $300,000 bid on a numbers matching(aren't they all?) ' 67 black 427/435 roadster!!!!!!

They were several real bargains that went unsold or went for ridiculously low prices.The one I really liked was a yellow(I'd even accept this color in this case ) blown pro-street shark.The workmanship was magnificent & the owner (with no hand on a bible) said there was a $150,000 in the car including $60,000 for the motor.It went for $29,000.

Again,thanks to Don & Ginny for arranging this outing.

Richy said it all it was a well planned day that went off perfectly, plenty of time, no rushing, lots to see, good friends and great food. Thanks Ginny and Don for a job well done.

Atlantic city will never be Barrett Jackson. I looked through the auction list during the week to see if there was anything interesting. I found the perfect car to add to Lee Pavorsky's collection but certaiinly not mine. A mint condition 1973 Mercury Montego with padded vinyl room and full bordello interior.

You need a Padded YELLOW Vinly ROOM!

BTW Jake and I are going to pick it up now. Get your Zaino ready!

We were there later in the afternoon when the owner turned down $380,000. for the race prepped (Hemi?) Road Runner with the huge wing. I don't know what the reserve was but until next year's Barrett Jackson auction, where else are you going to find a group willing to lay out that sum for what looked like a rough - old - Road Runner?

This was the first event that Marlene and I have attended since joining a few months ago. We both had a great time and are looking forward to future activities with the club. Thanks Don and Ginny for making this a success.
