Re the Barrett-Jackson Auction..... If my memory is correct, the 57 +4 was a
two
seater. It looked in good shape and they got $16,000 US dollars. The 69 +4
was
a four seater. There was no restoration on this car, but low mileage (????)
>From a distance the car looked good, but taking a closer look a major
restoration was needed. There was very aggressive bidding and it brought
$15,000
US. To my mind this was a way over priced. It did support a club badge from
Ontario, Canada, but had New Mexico plates. Colour white with green fenders.
The show was well worth attending.
