He is having his Grand Opening Friday November 6 from 2-6pm

I took the Yellow down today and have it on display in his lobby. Houston area folks need to stop by and check out the new place!

There was a blue that I had worked on trying to buy a few years ago and the seller was working with me, but the timing was just not good for me, too many other things were going on for me to do the deal in the timeframe he needed.
I found it one other time, but the new owner wanted way too much, not sure where it went from there.

Officer Randall that's Rick Spyrison's old car that he ended up selling at Barret Jackson. I bought a bunch of stuff from Rick and I to am sorry I never moved on that car. It was really nice and he told me how much he had into that car in paint alone. I felt bad for Rick as Barrett Jackson really put the screws to him from what he told me. He got way less than he expected. You're right whoever bought it put a big number on it and haven't seen it since.

He was running up on a deadline to take it to Barrett Jackson when I was trying to make the deal. Rick was great to work with, and the price was right, he had a deadline that I couldn't make for him.

I did try to bid on it, but it sold during a commercial and they had me on hold!!!!

I see you have Jake & Elwood guarding that beautiful yellow/purple Kat of yours.

Unfortunately I don't think Barrett Jackson allows reserves on anything except the super high dollar cars. Was too bad as Rick's a super nice guy.

I agree, Rick was great to work with, and we talked after he sent it to them. They really didn't treat him right, and handled the sale of this car poorly. Rick had good reason to be mad.

Thanks Ed, when we bought it, I had my brother pick it up and store it until I could get up to Northern California to pick it up. I only saw pictures of it. Several months later, my Son and I drove out to get it. When Jason first saw it, he hated it, and said, "Dad, you made a big mistake, this thing is in terrible shape!"
