This was an unsolicited opinion of my TBird mechanic.
My Dakota digital odometer shows 9.000 miles since my circa 2005 frame-off restoration. In virtually every way, I am much better than I was when I left Detroit in April 1955. My Daddy proudly drove 6,000 of those pleasure miles cruising to the Punta Gorda Nature Park with my Maltese and ShihPoo adopted sisters.

Daddy says he is too old and lazy to get off my couch and take me to one of the big auctions. He prefers to save BOTH the seller AND buyer from EACH having to pay a 10% commission (win-win),
If Daddy said, if he brings me to one of the big auctions, my reserve would be more than . After commission, fees, and taxes, you would pay more than out the door.
