Mecum Monterey Hemicuda up for Auction
« on: August 09, 2015 - 06:13:12 PM »
Another 70' hemicuda coming up for auction next week in Monterey.
This one has the luggage rack. I always thought that was a good looking option.

I wish I had his resources, be an awesome car to take for a drive now & then...   I went last year, had press credentials, access to all the auctions, Pebble, The Historics @ Seca, Concourso Italino... Not really my thing other than The Historics @ Seca but it was fun to check it out...

From what I gathered, Wade was a pioneer in extracting data and files from hard drives customers requested. Later on,  he sold the business.

From there, I imagine he must've been doing other investments and that's how he is where he is now.

Man, don't we all ... :grinyes:

Hard to find info on some cars and this one is no exception. However, I did find an interesting little web article on it when it was over in Europe for a few years and here it is ...

Great car with some great history, I think from what I have been seeing that this car is gonna pull a bit more than the estimated selling price :2cents:

Stop teasing...Was it Wade?

I hope he bought it. He actually shows his cars.
