CSX3021: Gooding Auction

[Don]

From on-line Motor Trend, January 7 2009. I could not find a link for the 2009 Ft. Lauderdale Beach Collector Car Auction results. I asked the Auction company to confirm. If I receive a reply, will post

" Turner announced that the Cobra would appear at the 2009 Ft. Lauderdale Beach collector Car Auction and the speculation began. Some thought the going price to be as high as $5 million, while Cobra forums gave a more reasonable $2 million. At the auction, an unnamed buyer offered the $3 million-plus final bid and the car sold. Later, the same buyer would pick up another Cobra, a green CSX 2311 with some rare options including dual carbs and painted wire wheels, for $572,400. "

I think you can take any sale older than 2 years and throw it out the window in this economy. We saw that with teh Daytona Coupe Mecum thought (or hoped) would bring $10 Mill only to not have it reach $6M the first time around(and I beeluive that was some shadow bidding going on.

I have a pdf formatted brochure from the 15th annual Ft. Lauderdale auction that was held on Jan. 2, 3 & 4 2009 With CSX3021, CSX2311, 1964 Ford Thunderbolt, 1957 Ford Thunderbird, 1970 Mustang Boss 302, 1969 Mustang Boss 429S, & 1961 Ford Starliner all at no reserve & were on the auction block from the Bill & Suzanne Turner collection. All were sold including CSX3021 until the new owner walked away. This is what happens at a no reserve auction unless you the owner are the only person present.

As I mentioned before, the new owner of 2311 lives nearby. I think it's time to call him up and inquire if he also bid on 3021 and, if so, why didn't he end up with it? I'll report back.
