Len Napoli had one that I think went to Rick M. then to Milt Robson then got the record sale (at the time) of $1.25 mil out in Las Vegas I believe....

Although within the last 6 months or so, the second of Telly's 2 has sold again for very large coin.....

Does anyone have any proof these cars sold for this much? Never saw one go through Mecum, RM, or Barrett-Jackson for over $1 million.

The Lozins 69 ragtop didn't sell at Mecum. There was an appraisal of over $1 million at last year's Cruisin' Tigers Show, and that appraisal seemed very suspicious. Dana Mecum then asked for the car to be on the Mecum block in the Spring, for publicity only. The bidding shot up to $1.1 million, but there were NO ACTUAL BIDS on the car, it was all done for publicity.

If someone has an actual sale of $1 million dollar 69 T/A ragtop, please post.

All the VIN's are known.
I think most of them have been accounted for.
(maybe 1 hasn't been?)

I didn't go this year, but I recall one of their shows a few years back where two '69 T/A convertibles were on display. I'm no Firebird authority so I don't know if either one was real or not, but they did look good.
