He had received the car from Northern Cal. the day before and did not know it's condition either. It looked good! I think most people would have fallen for it unless they knew 428s inside out. Now I would be way more careful and would not fall for it. However, I did not pay asking price and this makes me feel better!

I recently spoke to Mr. Dubois who remembers the car very well. Then, I know it was auctioned at Bonham in and around 2001 for 128,000 pounds. It was with a San Francisco car collector who then placed it on consignment with Fantasy Junction, a Northern California vintage car dealer, it was then sold to my friend here in Los Angeles who then sold it to me. On the car is a plate from Robert Dubois. I also have a pack of bills from various repair shops. That's it. If you know anything else, please let me know. The photo you have on your "Gentleman's Express Club AC 428 Register - Updates" was taken by me at the time the car was delivered to me by the fellow driving it. 5 minutes later the lower radiator went and we pushed the car in the garage. The car looked pretty good despite everything else.
