Who all is going? I'm off on vacation next week. Going to make the trip on Friday if weather permits.
Grabber at Carlisle Have you seen the Grabber going at auction? Link ==> http://www.carlisleauctions.com/auc8/vehicle-details.asp?id=1476&sid=9
Leaving 4 am Friday, Should be there by 7:30 so I can get a close spot at the armory. Anyone else going?
Ive been there in the rain, no fun when everything is covered up and mud everywhere. Tomorrow should be a good day. Ive been off all week and haven't gotten anything done because of the weather. Looking foward to tomorrow. Tell Nick not to buy up everything! LOL ...
I know Nick is going to bid on that Grabber. I dont go to Spring or Fall Carlisle, unless I really need something specific, because there is way too much GM and arts & crafts crap for me. Makes it hard to find the Ford stuff.
I went to the auction to bid on that yellow 1972 Grabber with 15,107 miles on it. It was a very nice original car, V8, A/C, P/S. I brought $11,000 in hopes of maybe having a chance at it but I didn't even get a chance to raise my hand to bid. The first bid started at $12,500 and the car sold for $16,500. It seemed to me that is was the most popular car at the auction which had 260 cars in it. There was always a croud around it, people were even talking about it in the bathroom and the beer line.
Pam and I went Friday, GREAT weather! Not to hot, not to cold. By the time we walked the entire show there was no way I would have been able to walk down to the auction building. I barely made it back to my truck in the armory parking lot.
