Yeah, I get that he owns several, but the show was advertised as selling off his "collection" of Co$ras, not ONE. In the end, not much about the car, alot about the show's host and how he knows how to sell cars. Um, so what.? Don't get it, cancelling my DVR recording of this series.

Agree, I have watched the show a few times and it's more about Wayne Carini than about the cars and whether or not he hit the numbers on a particular sale. What I can't understand (maybe I have it wrong) is that the bidding hit 1.3 million and then he sold it for 1.165 million. Did I miss something? |

You didn't miss anything. It is typical in a reserve auction for the auction company to 'raise the bid' to or near the reserve figure.
The reserve was 1.5M. The seller later dropped the reserve. |

Just to be clear, at the end of the show, post auction, the message on the screen stated that the car sold two days later. The seller and show host sat down before the auction and the owner seemed adamant about not taking a bid below $1.3MM I think. He said no way to $1.1-$1.2MM. Something must have changed his mind.
Just curious, and I'm no historian by any stretch, but did only a few comp cars have the dry sump oil system? 3034 did not, but it was converted to an S/C for sale. Love those magnesium wheels! I want some! |

Only a few Comp cars had dry sump.
This car was never "converted to an S/C" if thats what they said... it was born an S/C.
And I don't think those wheels are the original set. |

I enjoy the show but my expectation is that it is more focused on the chase rather than the mechanics. For more of a build view I watch shows like Gearz, Muscle Car, Chop Cut Rebuild, horse power, wheeler dealers, two guys garage, etc. Jesus I need a life!

My understanding is that there were exactly three original 427 comp cars with the dry-sump oil system, including CSX3020 which was featured on My Classic Car.

Off the top of my head, 3002, 3004, 3011, 3013, 3016, 3019, 3020.

Uh, that's what the show is about. It's not really about the cars but about Wayne Carrini and how he tracks down cars ,fixs them, or cleans them up and sells them. Hence the name of the show. The show never advertised that he was selling a collection of Cobras, but someone on this forum did a couple days ago. I don't know, I think the show is pretty interesting.
