Lee Hartung Collection
« on: November 01, 2011, 05:59:56 PM »
I don't know if this has been posted previously.

A friend emailed this link.

This is an unbelievable collection and each of the 8 videos are worth watching.

I'm only a few miles away and wanted to go but it's not a spectator event. Only registered bidders are allowed. Cost's $100.00 just to register to bid. :'(

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Hefty ticket price but it is a once-in-a-lifetime event.  Hopefully they'll video the auction and it will turn up on TV sometime in the future.

I'm guessing the 1949 Veritas will bring three times that or more. True it's a car, but still!
