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

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am glad this car went for this much.  This one appeared to be a nice car 
but still not one you would think could bring in the mid 50s so either the car 
just had a lot of hype because of the interior or the value of the 
widebody cars has made a huge jump lately.  Glad I am sitting on two 71 401 cars 
and one 72. 

There was a 69 base model 290 AMX that fetched 18K.  

Nick,

?? 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.??
