My car has arrived
It's a 1968-69 AVS Shadow-Chevrolet Lowline CanAm Racing Sports initial prototype, designed by Don Nichols of Ex-Works.
One reviewer back in the day upon seeing the car wrote, "It looked kinda like a man just seated on a skateboard, with a Chevy V8 strapped to his back — the image looked so amazing I forgot to press the shutter and missed the shot!"
The car is Lot Number 518 in an upcoming Bonham's auction styled "An Important Sale of Collectors' Motorcars and Automobilia, Featuring Fine Jewelry and Watches."
You say you'll get it for me?
Super!
The auction's at 3:30 p.m. this coming Friday, August 18, at the Quail Lodge Resort & Golf Club in Carmel, California.
Give me a holler after you've bought it — I'll be curious as to what you paid.
The estimate is $100,000-$140,000, according to Simon de Burton's story in this past weekend's Financial Times.
Why not pick something up for yourself?
Here's the catalog.

I'll take the 1938 Talbot-Lago ‘Special’ 150 SS Goutte d’Eau Coupe.
One of these days I must ask my ex-boss whether he still wants the kitcar[1] stored (at my expense) in the neighbour's garage. Finishing it might be a good idea, too.
