Tom  Tjaarda produced a special Pantera for the Las Vegas B-J auction 
last  fall, and it was hyped to the moon, appearing on the program's front  
cover, on display in the B-J advertising tent at just about any big-time  car 
event 
you could name, etc. etc.   The car supposedly sold  for $80K (plus premium 
that works out to $88K), with the pitch being that  it was Tom's personal 
Pantera.


Mike:
 
I just went over my recording of BJ auction of the "Tjaarda" Pantera, and  
saw were the car was quickly bid to $110k, but was corrected back to $100k where 
 the hammer fell.  Do you know of something happening after the sale to  
bring it down to $80k?
 
Re: Pur Gold. I do not think Barret Jackson is the place for this car,  what 
with no reserve it is possible it will go for a pittance of its true  value.  
Were I responsible for its sale, I would use a different action  house.
