Fred is practically my neighbor (he lives in the next town over, but when you live in a town of 150 people, everybody's your neighbor ) I went to school with his kids, and have been in his shop numerous times.

He made his fortune buying and selling Mopars... He's a dealer, but has a few that he keeps for his personal collection. This is probably something he was planning to re-sell, which is why he didn't bid to the moon on it. I think he brought 6 other cars home from B.J. then.

This summer he had a '71 HEMI Cuda ragtop that he sold for somewhere around $4M What's cool is, if I see the shop doors open or lights on when I drive by, he's always friendly and willing to let me walk through and see what he's got!
