To me, the Jaguar D-Type at $3,740,000 is a very good purchase. Great to see three cars with the white and blue American colors.
Thanks.
What is the story with 427 Cobra CSX3021? Didn’t that sell last year for $3.5 million? Something fishy…
I have a 1977 corvette coupe with t-tops. It has a four speed with p/s p/b ac electric windows all original extremly low miles. Extra nice car. Complete resto to new cond. Would like ball park figure on price of car and auction dates in summer of 2011. This car is called a Mako Shark.
Thank You Walter Tippit
