Ron Pratte liquidated his collection of 140 vehicles, and donated all proceeds to the Armed Forces Foundation

The dual supercharged Cobra that had been the 5.5 million dollar sale some years ago when Carroll Shelby auctioned it off sold for 5.115 million this time...

The Futureliner went for 4 million, and the Bonneville Special that went with it sold for 3.3 million

Tuesday was the special sale day for 110 of Ron's vehicles, and Saturday was set aside for the best 30

Showing just how over rated, and over valued some cars were in the 2008 crazy auction price days, the Howard Hughes '53 Buick Roadmaster that Ron paid 1.6 million for went for 1/10th that amount this time... as no one really wants an inconsequential museum piece with very little notoriety. The racing planes Howard Hughes flew might for for millions, but some Buick? Nope. Not a lot of rich people want to go home with that.

The Blastolene B-702 French Curve went for 550,000


Chezoom went for 375,000


The Beverly Hillbillies truck by Barris went for 275,000


Coddington customs went for between 150,000 and 250,000

A COPO Camaro went for 330,00

A Yenko Chevelle went for 275,000

Le Bestione went for 143,000

the JF Customs Savoy wagon went for 242,000

The Crosley hook and ladder went for 115,500


the 62 WinterNats swiss cheese 61 Hurst Catalina Super Duty only went for 82 thou
