Three Million Dollars

[surrealvol]

I just watched a guy from a Colorado car museum outbid a guy wearing a Tenness Vols cap for an Oldsmobile concept car that never made it to production.

Only three were made and Harley Earles' grandson was there and said he has the other two.

The winning bid was $3,000,000, the all-time record for a car bought at the Jackson-Barrett auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.

THREE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!! (On the Speed Channel)

It was a 1954 F-88 Oldsmobile and will be on display at the Gateway Auto Museum in Colorado.

That wasn't Fulmer down there bidding was it?

Nah, it wasn't Phil. The guy bid on the next car, an old Corvette, up to about $350,000. He didn't get it either.

There was a kid with him wearing a sweatshirt that said "Cleveland Wrestling", so he might have been from Cleveland, TN.

Man, this is good stuff.

Yeah, I flipped over to speed to see what you were talking about. Man, they have some sweet cars there up for auction don't they?

The UT hat guy did win the mercedes before that though for $300,000.
