Whitefish Auction

I was able to make the Whitefish Auction. If anybody else from the site was there I missed them. All I can say is when I looked and sat in the liquid silver 92 with 38k miles my heart went twangggg. The engine compartment(s) of the 3 SVXes for auction were almost like new, I will have pics on tues after I pick up my disc. Every vehicle there was a very nice custom toy. I don't think I will ever see SVXes like that again. But the rocket ride trip through Montana and back was very cool.

How much did they go for?

I stuck around long enough to find out my 3k cash I brought wouldn't buy anything. There were some power buyers there using cell phones, and they were determined to go home with a SVX. When the second car hit 4,500 I left. I will contact the auction co. by e-mail to see if they'll give some info. There was so much stuff to auction it took hours. I left with my heart broke so I stopped to gamble in every town till I was outta Montana.

is it a local auction or menheim related auction? If it is menheim related one, I can look up.

I'd be curious to know where the SVXs ended up.

you can also come to colorado to see one.

hopefully, i will be attending the western region meet next year, which will most likely be in west yellowstone. you can see it there.

I was phone bidding on the 92 Silver and hung up when it went past $7000.

Ouch

Well, I guess leaving the auction early was a good thing. I had to time the trip so I had some light to avoid the thick numbers of deer, gawd they were everywhere!! Anyway I contacted the Auction co. and the prices for the beauties were from 6500 to 8000, unreal I know. Pics still coming today... my kids computer is acting up, right after Norton Anti-Virus expired hmmmm... I might have done better to go to the fall colors, but then I couldn't have cruised at 100 plus...the SVX felt right at home.

Install the corporate edition of Symantec Antivirus.

I wonder how long before a new member shows up with one of the auctioned SVX's?

So now that this guy's collection has been spread everywhere, Earl truly does have the largest SVX collection in the known universe.



Wow, I guess lakefivehenry wasn't just blowing steam back when he used to post here about his pristine SVX collection, some with low miles, some with special mods, etc. If I remember right he pretty much got mocked into non-posting status.

Well I am sure one of us might have hit 100 on the way back from Verlot Saturday......

Yeah, I think people thought he was dreaming when he listed a high asking price for an SVX he was thinking about selling. Guess he was right afterall, good grief.

I didn't go to the auction either. I would have liked to have seen them, but had fun at the Fall Colors meet instead.

I need to go fill my cooler again.
