Golly. It was just sitting right there next to that Ferrari. I couldn't imaginge a $1,000,000 (well, priceless) car just sitting out there.. at least the Duseys were kinda away from everything else. seems like they were asking for something to happen.

Yeah, after doing a bit of research it appears that this might have been one of the few new cars. They're still considered "original 1965s" but they're new constructions. Its weird... makes no sense to me, but apparently this ISN'T a TRUE "original racer". Whatever.

It was in the same room, right next to the Deusy. A green Z-28. It was the ONLY (1 of 1) Z-28 Camaro ever built (at least in that year), a special factory order by the general manager of Chevrolet. The seller TURNED DOWN a bid of $1.05 million for the car, expecting closer to the high range estimate of $2 mil.
When the owners were unloading it, they left their Tahoe tow vehicle unlocked for about 4 minutes. During that time, someone opened the door and stole the owner's wife's purse, plus a bag that contained all the original documentation for the Camaro... the original purchase order, window sticker, selling documents, the original keys, EVERYTHING. Dean Kruse was offering a "substantial reward" for the return of the documents. Kinda crazy...

Yea, the sign said something about only 6 of them being made originally, but that Carol Shelby had approved production of 12 new ones. And the auction was for the 12th one that has not been produced yet. Kinda screwy.

Guess I did see it, but didn't realize what I was seeing. Interesting story. Those papers are probably half of the value of the car!
There was another car in that room that had a sign in front of it saying that their digital camera had been stolen and they would just like the memory card back. I figured car guys were pretty honest.. Kinda unnerving.

I got some pics of Elanor(sp?) from Gone in 60 seconds, but haven't got them developed yet. I have to say seeing that car there was the highlight of my day. Very cool place to be though...good time.
