Watched this one go across the block on my Iphone today. The bid stopped at $50,000 and had a reserve of $60,000

That’s right where the previous 3 restored comp gold boss cats have sold ~ right in that $50k-$55k window.

It will be interesting to see how Tim Wellborn’s comp blue super drag-pak boss does in January.

Mike, what about an original paint, original drivetrain yellow boss cat? Maybe $80-$90K? :ylsuper:
