I think this is the first time a GT-E will be sold at public auction. Correct me if I am wrong. I hope she does well.

You are correct, this is the first time for a GT-E to be sold at a public auction. That is Brian Aust's (mmmeat) GT-E. John

A 428 GT-E was sold at auction in Grand Rapids, MI about 10 years ago. It was a public auction put on by a L-M dealer who was selling off his collection of cars. To my knowledge that was the only GT-E to ever by auctioned publicly.

It may be the first time a GT-E was in a televised auction. By no means is it the first time one was auctioned publicly.

Without doubt one has gone through some "public" auction at some point, like when they were a couple years old at the local used car dealer auto auction and such. I have been watching as close as anyone one for the last 20 years or more and have never seen one go through Mecum, Barrett or the like, televised or not. I think it is safe to say one has never been documented to have crossed over the block at a major collector car auction.

The Calypso Coral GT-E that was here in Dallas (original color was Augusta Green I think) was sold at the Leake Auction around 1995 which was at that time equal to or better than the Barrett Jackson.

I checked out their site, they have no option for anything but xr7 Cougar so I guess they have not sold a standard Cougar in recent years. I think 1995 was about the time people began to know what a GTE was! I sold my Low mile, one owner, original paint, numbers matching GTE in 1998 for $15,500 and folks talked like I had set a new worlds record! I bet Leake auctions didn't even know they should market it in HMN or contact the CCOA so they went under the radar for all but a few guys like yourself who happened to live in DFW at the time. I don't think they qualify as a major auction house, do they or did they in 1995 report their data to NADA?

Bazinga! Nice Pics Don..

I hope I didn't overstep my bounds in my writeup of the GT-E (Re being the first)..I guess If Barrett Jackson doesn't like saying it is the "first", they'll be the ones that have to worry about it

 

[JB BATTERSHILL]

Cool pics, Don!

GOOD LUCK, BRIAN!

 

[mmmeat]

Also, the '69 Custom Convertible is set for Saturday night..I beleive it is the crazy Gold one! That should be somethin' to watch..
