I know there is some history, but if you would have seen the ones bidding, one or two seemed three sheets to the wind and were having a big time trying to outbid others. I say alcohol and ego got the price. Whatever was the real cause, to me it was too much for the car....as you'll say...well some body thought it was!(GRIN)
I was surprised to hear the car was so dominate it was even beating hemi's...surprise to me!

If you followed NHRA Super Stock back in those days,that Truppi/Kling Chevelle,driven by Ray Allen, dominated like no other. To give an equivalent example,imagine what one of Sox & Martin's race cars,or one of Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins car's would be worth with their dominant racing history. It's the history behind that Chevelle that pumped up the bidding.
