[markatherton]

here are the marti reports. not trying to hijack your thread, but you asked...

Thanks for those Marti's! Awesome that the '67 was ordered here at my local dealer (Sanderson) - and note that it took 4 months to sell. The '68 is like some others I've seen from that year - U132s with limited slips front and rear.

those are 2 cool ones, thnx for sharing. Skyview blue, that is a nice one.
I would assume that 68 isn't a part of the 26 known making that the 27th? Hulick would know the answer to that one?
as Todd noted, U132 here on mine as well, interesting.

Pretty sure the 68' that was used on Green Acres is a U132 also. I drug my feet on a 68' u13 6cyl about three years ago and missed out on it, it was the only 68' u13 6cyl I've seen for sale and the only non u132 I can remember seeing. I was such an idiot for not buying that. Not even going to say how cheap it was, 1500 miles away detoured me away and cost me in the end lol.

Very cool read here!! And Bobby, I wish you well in finding a new roadster enthusiast. Your restoration is impeccable!! As for the '68 Marti that Mark posted, I do have that owner logged into the file. We still total at 27 though. Mark does Aaron still own it?

Oh BT, what were you thinking?? No gold star for you....

Yeah not one of my better weeks of decision making for sure. That was the one with the u14 vin on the frame and u13 warranty plate. I sent both vins to Marti and the u14 vin is invalid, just a mis-stamp.

no. i own it...

thnx for the words Tim.
that's good to hear the 68 is logged in the registry already. You mention were "still at 27", we must of gained one for it used to be a total of 26, 1968 Roadsters, correct?
Okie that's some good remembering and past data on both of them Roadsters, is that Marti info you posted the Green Acres or the one you missed? I am assuming the one you missed but very cool if you had the stats on the Green Acres rig.

That's the one I missed out on.

I really hope you get the number you are hoping to get. with the exchange rate it’s tough pill to swallow to throw out over 100gs.

It will be interesting to see as there’s a 66 roadster for sale up here and they are asking two hundred thousand CAD

[Broncoblood]

hey Lewko, appreciate the words.
so based on the info you sent, August Motorcars after being inspected and certified, feels that Wimbledon white 66 is worth $147,993 US dollars.
I wonder if they inspected and certified my 68, what price they would come up with?
I agree, I have had a lot of inquiries regarding the sale along with the curiosity of the hammer price? we shall see come August.
hope all is well up in Canada

Hey Chris, any idea who restored the white roadster? Tim

Who knows it would be interesting what they would say about our roadster as well. I talked to the last guy I know who owned it and he sold it between 95k and 100k CAD August motor car told me when I inquired about it that it’s such a big list price cause of the rarity with the winch

 

[Broncoblood]

I guess I need to install a winch : )

thanx for all the feedback
