I want to go someday. My dad once owned Craig Jackson's plum crazy hemi cuda convertible.

Who knows, 20-30 years from now restored ssp's (like 4 eye chp's and other rare ssp's) could be going across the block for 60-80 grand. It is a possibility

Have fun Andy! While you're there, grab me something shiny with a Ford logo; I'm not picky

Yes.....but remember Sam it's not always about money
sometimes it's something special about the project and the finished product
that money can't buy. A car flipper does not get it.
to that person it's only about money
true enthusiast know it's about the pride of ownership
and in your case knowing you did the majority of the work
is something you can not put a price on.

Very true And when you put all the work in yourself, you are much more likely to take very good care of the car. Many kids don't take care of their cars, but the ones that actually work on their cars and fix them up take care of them much better.

Also, are you going to bid on the General Lee, Andy?
And I think Bill would like the red GT500 raffle car

No...I have never bought anything at the auctions but once in 2000 i re connected
with a friend that told me about a car that was for sale that i thought was long gone
and i did buy that car. Had a friend in from Boise (Mustang Mark) and we attended
BJ on Tuesday and Thursday and this off the hook car show in Scottsdale on the
Saturday he arrived and the Saturday before he flew back to Boise

Mark my wife and i were on the lookout at the auction for Mustangs and in particular
Fox body cars and we did not see much.An occasional convertible and SVO but
no SSP cars not even a suspect coupe! at a Friday Night cruse in on the West side
of town we seen the most Fox cars of the entire week including a 93 non SSP coupe
The media here reported record sales and attendance at Barrett Jackson but to me
it did not seem as energy charged as it had in the past. Mustang Mark had a great time
i think he probably seen more collector cars in the week he was here than he has seen
in his 60 years on earth. It's a bucket list item for sure .
