Watching both and the Kirkham is at $40K (reserve met) with under 24 hours to go. I wonder if this was that Texas car that ended up in a canal and was posted here a while back hanging from a crane? Runs and looks complete? If it stays at $40K it could be well bought.

The GT has crept up to $108K (reserve also met). Two pristine examples recently went in the $220K range at Mecum-Anaheim. I'm guessing perhaps $20K in parts to get this one close to right (lower valance, rear diffuser, rear wheel, oil pan and Lord knows what else)?

Of course, each has a salvaged title so resale-ability is, hmmmmm, lower. Buy to keep and enjoy! Or where's Richard Rawlings to flip both?!?

Colorado, fresh water flood when a small creek decided it wanted to become a raging river. Water up to the bottom of the dash I believe, in the owners garage along with his Caterham "7" which is also being auctioned off on the same site by the insurance company who paid off on both cars.

That is all I know, so no PM's will be responded to asking for more information.......I do not have any other information...........
