Re: $143,000 truck

This thread reminded me of an earlier BJ auction and a 70 Chevelle that fetched 1.2 million. The car recently re-sold for a million less. A Google search gave me the details I couldn't remember. the search led me to a thread over at Chevelles.com......copy and paste.....

After all of the talk around here lately about rare LS-6 convetibles. I noted something very interesting, while reading thru my freinds latest edition of Hot Rod magazine.

Hot Rod Magazine, February 2010 Edition:

Quote from page 61; "The item most folks expected to draw top dollar brought just 20 percent of the $1.2 million Ralph paid in 2006. Tonny Sorensen of the Von Dutch clothing line is the latest owner of Ray Allen's A/Stocker. He forked over $240,000 (plus 10 percent)-then put the top down and drove the rare 454 Chevelle to its new home in SoCal. He told us he plans to remove the graphics and drive the 61-original-mile (no joke) car regularly".
