Another from Wellborn - hope these can reach the estimated prices.  There are a lot to choose from.

I'm looking forward to seeing this car/color in person. I don't think pictures do it justice.

I can tell you from seeing it in person, the car is stunning and just glows in that color.

They say trophy in the write-up, but Barbara thought the car had a lot of value as it sat. The car had sat under a tarp for years in their back yard. It was known around town, but you had to know where to look as you went by to be able to see it. She was a friend of the family and in 1995 I went and looked at it just to see what shape it was in. I had just bought my T/A and a Daytona didn't interest me. It was in fair shape, had some rust in some areas but had been sitting on cement blocks every since it had been covered which saved it to some degree. At the time the car was a shade of blue. She had a price but high. It sat for several more years until Tim came and looked at it. I recently went to his museum, and in talking I asked him about the car and told him where I lived and had known of the car for years and also knew Barbara. He said when he saw the paint code and then found the original color the deal was sealed. I have know idea what he gave for the car, but I think it was less than she originally wanted.
