    I think your wife will be thrilled to hear that. You have cash in the bank, and she has a clean yard.

    well, it would easily cost that to put one into that condition. i might have gone that high if it had been a 69. the market is skinny and fickle. that car hit a couple of people's sweet spot, I imagine... :)

    Country Squire not withstanding, every time I see a light blue ‘70 Ford I always think of the opening credits of Mary Tyler Moore and her ‘70 Mustang with the crooked front bumper.

    The modern expression, I believe, is gobsmacked, but I'll stick with flabbergasted. Grant you, this car is amazing. You could eat off the underneath. I'm shocked this could reach that high a bid without even a 429.
    I have mixed feelings about this auction. On the one hand, I'm gratified to see my favorite model getting some recognition. On the other, this is likely to put the '70 CS well and truly out of reach of the any but those with immodest incomes (mine's so modest, it's practically a prude).
