[TPR] Fwd: Mecum At Monterey

[Larry Stock]

>From eye witness Pantera owners here in Monterey this was a generous offer the seller should have taken. This was a unmasked spray-over that would have made most Beverly hills motor club offerings look real good. Amateur patch repairs on body and frame for collisions and rust, bondo, painted over door handles, the list went on and on.

I would start out with BaT.  There have been some really good sales there, even of cars that you would never have thought would bring as much money as they did.  The thing about BaT is that a lot of the comments can actually drive more bidding, and the bidding happens over days, not minutes.  

Was Monterey done by one of the big houses like Barret-Jackson or Mecum?   If not, then the cars most likely did not get any pre-sales advertising or exposure.  That would mean people specifically interested in a Pantera most likely were not there, so it suffered from bidders who were less interested, most likely second hand dealer who thought they could turn it for a profit.

Stick with BaT to start with.

Paul and I attended the Monterey auction a couple years ago.

Economy was strong and yet none of the 3 Pantera’s met reserve. One of the 3 was a modified custom Pantera and the other two were bone stock. Yet none met reserve

It would appear to the Dawg the best source for Pantera sales is still BAT and private sales. 

Wot do you guys and Laurie think?
