Many of us saw it at Mid America couple years back. Not sure what the whole back story is on the car but there are allot (by percentage of production) of very low mileage Boss 9's for allot of reasons. Think I would use the Scottsdale auctions rather than the FL one - but owners choice :)

BOY is that right!   I noticed that they were billing this as "where the cars are" (Florida) !!   All of the buyers will be in AZ !  (IMO)
Spend just a little time looking at the cost/fees and there is a chance that some of the draw for this event is lower commissions for sellers.

I still don't get it - I would rather pay a premium to get a good spot than "save money" !

P.S.  Jeff if you are going to be in AZ - hope you will stop by Drew's and have a look at the Cougar !!  Once we are done with sale (Friday at drunk time) we will get to other venues.

Actually, the final weekend of the Mecum sale is one week after the weekend of the BJ sale so it's possible for the 'big guys' to hit both, albeit cross country  :-\

Sure !!  This is Chris's Yellow car.    (I think I need to redo my SJ SCJ stamps as I used yellow on blue car)

P.S.  (I've always liked to find the car "degassing" on the auction field in AZ !!  LOL In the last 18 years there has always been one !
