[AMC-list] Mecum Classic Car auction in Big D

[C The <kwtheaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   i'd seen Mecum auctions on TV and thought it'd be fun to
attend one if they ever got close so i made plans to go when 
they had their first visit to the Dallas convention center this weekend. 

    Dallas is a couple hundred miles from where i live so drove
up in the morn and got there about noon and i gotta say walking
in to the display area was close to a religious experience.

  the patter of the auctioneer going on in the back, the lights
 bright,  plenty of folks roaming around and holy hot rods,
a couple of hundred classic cars all shinier than the day they
were made.  

    though there were many makes, models & years AMC was 
represented by  a lone black '73 AMX. i sure was interested
in what it would go for.      the bidding for a
'69 L78 Vette was quite exciting as each $5K bid was
upped by another to a final $565,000.    

  when i saw the AMX was up next,  i thought that half a million is
 a tough act to follow however the AMX had plenty of interest 
and sold for $54,000.
