Went to the Russo Steele auction last Thursday (first day, for them). The highest price paid, that I saw in the 6 hours I was there was for...some sort of special edition Jeep Rubicon! $80,000 plus the 10% fee, plus the 7% sales tax! Couldn't believe it, still can't. I'm obviously missing something. They did run through some very nice cars and had the really cool stuff going Friday, and especially Saturday. A good looking Unique with a 427 SO and top loader brought $34K, plus the fee and tax. I thought that was plenty, but then, I don't really know anything about Unique Cobras. May well have been a good deal, considering the drive train. Looking forward to seeing their results on the '05 or '06 Ford GTs they had and especially the original Cheetah. (one of what 8 or 10?)
