Original Cords and Replica Auburns for sale at Mecum Chicago October 24-26

They call me toaster da mess , whoever bought the 810 cord is a brave soul indeed.

I think some day a Glenn Pray recreation should join my collection and my 36 westchester preowned by Glenn "the man who brought legends to life" ... but I think those estimates are unbelivable low, the baby blue auburn is still an iconic dreamcar and the corvair based cord 8/10 looks quite neglected but very untouched with its old radio. don´t know wether they accept overseas bidding...

HOWEVER I don't recall ever seeing a factory built with painted headlight shells and I doubt either car is a factory built., obviously Felix or Doug would know best, the blue car does look like it could be brought back with detailing and mechanical maintenance an appears it was well built originally.

If either of the Pray Speedsters are original factory built cars, as opposed to customer assembled I would think the values they expect are grossly under estimated given that they would be eligible for ACCA judging , and it has been my past observation that there are a number of what I would term Trophy hunters in the old car "hobby/business" , and I am not saying that as a derogatory description , more a recognition of including all preferences.
That's my two cents worth.

Hey friends,

I was looking through the listing for the Petrozzini collection being auctioned by Mecum later this month in Chicago. Two original cords, one Glen Pray cord, and two Glen Pray Auburns. Good luck bidding!
