Dan sold the car to a private collector. I dont know if it went directly to the C Russo collection or if he purchased it second had from Dan. I looked at the car over a year ago and we couldnt come to an agreement of price. Then i was the highest bidder on ebay less than a year ago, but it did not hit the reserve. I was on the phone to bid, but because of other investments $20k was all i could go to.

The car was race ready as far as motor, trans and diff being gone over as i believe it was destined for the US Nats a few years ago prior to Russo getting sick (and passing). While the paint was cracked badly in the rear, the car overall was in great shape, it just needed a little interior attention and some spots on the front end rubbed out (smoothened) There were no real dents but definately some low spots in the aluminum (except one headlight ring, which should be repairable as its not kinked).

I own a 66 Belvedere Hemi (11,712 miles) from his collection and was looking forward to adding this beauty to my collection! It would have gone great beside the 65 Belvedere (clone of a 64 max wedge driver!)

Someone got a great deal, i wish i could have added 10k to my bidding for sure!
