[DeTomaso] Vallelunga for auction

[Jerry Knotts]

Bill,

I will give an opinion but if I was so smart I would be rich.  A friend 
auctioned a fresh restore of an early Bronco Friday.  He bought the 
truck for 6K 6 years ago.  Full body off resto.  New 351W crate motor 
all repro fenders and hood, new glass, roll cage, etc.  Lifted 5 inches 
with 35 tires,12K Warn winch on the front and new metalic orange paint.

At auction an early Bronco went 15 cars before his.  The other Bronco 
had a 20 foot paint job the vent windows were held in with silicone and 
there were small body dents scattered on the right side accentuating a 
ragged interior.  The first Bronco went for 20K , My friends  went for 
24.5 after he dropped the reserve.  I think the guy that sells for the 
restore comes out way ahead of the person that sells after a full restore.

I have done it both ways and if you sell before the work, it is a lot 
easier and a lower investment with quicker/higher return.

   Bill,
   I will give an opinion but if I was so smart I would be rich.  A friend
   auctioned a fresh restore of an early Bronco Friday.  He bought the
   truck for 6K 6 years ago.  Full body off resto.  New 351W crate motor
   all repro fenders and hood, new glass, roll cage, etc.  Lifted 5 inches
   with 35 tires,12K Warn winch on the front and new metalic orange
   paint.
   At auction an early Bronco went 15 cars before his.  The other Bronco
   had a 20 foot paint job the vent windows were held in with silicone and
   there were small body dents scattered on the right side accentuating a
   ragged interior.  The first Bronco went for 20K , My friends  went for
   24.5 after he dropped the reserve.  I think the guy that sells for the
   restore comes out way ahead of the person that sells after a full
   restore.
   I have done it both ways and if you sell before the work, it is a lot
   easier and a lower investment with quicker/higher return.
