I hope you correct the Mecum auction listing.  As a triple crown winner of just a few I think I know what Im talking about. You misrepresented your car.   Dragging in some names that dont want to be represented with you.  Please be honest with your car.  It has NOT been supervised by 2 saac judges. It is not a concourse car.  Has it been judged by gaines amd speegle? 

Just trying to keep buyers informed.  Apologize if I crossed the line but you cant make claims unless they are substantiated.   Correct.

You first reply was appropriate.. your second was a little harsh... lighten up.

I believe Ruben heard you the first time,....

Thanks

Apology accepted, Darren. Have a great night!

I too am interested in the car.  It seems real nice.  I'm also sorry if I swatted the bee's nest here, being the new guy and all.  Mr. Bonals told me the two judges are Jim Cowles and JD Kaltenbach.  I met Jim C a few years ago at his shop but I don't know Mr Kaltenbach.  Do they work together often?  I know Jim C does really nice work so knowing he restored this car makes me interested.

Either way I plan on checking out the car in Houston in a few weeks.  Good luck to all!

I PM'ed you, Thanks Ruben.

Hey to everyone!  First time poster here, but I've owned a '68 Mustang for a few years.  I recently decided I'm ready to take the plunge and buy a 1967 GT350.  I'm looking at a white car in the Houston Mecum auction.

It says "concours nut and bolt restoration using NOS and restored original parts".  It also says "Restoration was overseen by two SAAC judges".  Which two SAAC judges are they?  I'd like to speak with them.  At what SAAC event was the car judged and did it score gold?  There are no underside pictures, which always worries me when a car is claimed to be a 'concours nut and bolt restoration'.

I have a copy of the latest SAAC Registry 1965-1967.  For this car, it says "Wiring for side lights were present but no lights were installed'.  I'm guessing they are referring to the upper red lights found on the early '67's?  It sure seems to have them now, so I'm guessing someone added them after the fact?

Thanks for any info you can share.  It's a big investment, so all is appreciated.

Timmy
