I hope whoever bought it puts it to use, I sure would if I had the money. I doubt you could build one like it for that price. John Kissel

Anyone know who bought it?

Don't know who bought it, but I hope it will be preserved (and used) just like it sits now. A piece of race car history that I thought sure would bring well past $100,000. With all the cars that brought north of that figure (about 30 or so) I was surprised that it went for $90,000. I remember all the articles about the car, including how to do lace painting on a car.

Lots of history with that one...too bad they didn't start with a Hemi but guess that was contrary to the premise they started with. Tonight's auction of the "Old Reliable" Dave Strickler Z28 will be interesting. Anyone hazard a guess on that one? I'm thinking ~225K but who knows with the games they play and guarantee it will be a "long" gavel.

Old Reliable sold for $253k.

Congrats Mr. Jerry, hope you got what you were looking for.

Many years ago when Ted Struse moved to Colorado he introduced himself to me and eventually I ended up helping him with the altitude tuning of Project Six-Pack. I am not sure I really helped a lot because I was still learning back then. Ted was great to work with and I was honored that he did a SS & DI article on my 6-pack car in '85 or '86. Later he changed Project Six Pack to an ET car and went with a big bracket motor, big tires and all. To the best of my knowledge the first time it sold @ B-J Scottsdale it had been returned it's original vintage condition. It appeared to still be in that condition.
Sadly Ted was stricken with Parkinsons disease and the last I heard from him was a few years ago and he was working on a '63 dodge ET car. True to form Ted had big plans for it and was determined to not let disease interfere. I have not been in touch with Ted since and I hope he is doing well.
It is a great car with terrific history. I am glad it was returned to the original condition and I hope it stays that way. No doubt - that is the best way for it to retain it's value.

The car was bought by my father. It will reside in Powell Wyoming. It will see a couple of car shows but is otherwise retired. We do not race but it does hold sentimental value as he had a 69 roadrunner when he was a kid! Just saw that u were curious of the outcome!
