Roger - What's up with that. I'm retired yes but so busy all the time I wonder how I had the time to work. Anyway, I hear you are semi-retired right now. Hope and pray you find something soon. It seems my son is making more money now than ever doing pickup handiman work. He just mentions his talents to anybody he comes across.
Dick.

I got home in time to watch some of the auction....but it was AFTER the "good" cars were auctioned. There seems to be no way to see what the winning bids were until they are posted as a group, to be posted sometime in the future. I watched a 57 Chev limo sell for 27,500, so that should indicate the desireable Mopars (S18, S22, S-25, S-35,
S 37, S-39, S-61) went for BIG DOLLARS.
