There would have to be one hell of a disclaimer if that was the one that went swimming.

I have bought as drivers a few swimmers in my rebuuilding days. Fresh water, no worries, salt water, LOTS a worries.

The Bugatti crashed into a TEXAS LAKE.... so I would ASSume it's fresh water?

Even if the insurance company totaled the car - they sell the carcass to somebody... and a car like that is not going to just disappear.

There has to be good reason the bids were so low... my guess is the market "knew" something.

Mark --

My big block 400hp 67 vette went thru BJ Scottsdale AFTER a body off restoration - 5 years after I sold it - for the same price (private sale) - and got the same exact dollars.... now subtract the body off resto - the fees - transportation - the cost of money....

There's a very long and sordid story that goes with this - but this ain't the "I sold my vette" thread.
