Although living,sleeping full time in a Kirkham is a bit hard now that my wife owns everything.

Actually that's pretty much what I did. When I went to Barrett Jackson I had scoped out a 65 K-code Mustang 'ver that was owned by Ricky Nelsons twin sons (Gunnar and Matthew). I stopped at $57K; it went for $68K but it had a 4-speed and co-pilot didn't want to drive a manual any more.

Second choice was a truly wonderful GT350 that was a "survivor". It went for $200K (I stopped at less than half that).

In the middle were two GT500s that went for only $10K over what I stopped at (but you never know) and one really sweet T-bird (with the dual quads).

Next was the Cobra. I stopped at $100. Next was $110. Bidder's asst. asked me to stand by as he sensed something was wrong (I think it was a false bid, not that someone backed down). It went back and the bidder guy asked if I wanted to reinforce mine. I won.
