Do you have the VIN ? To start you could try the C2 registry.

I would contact Mecum. They may contact the seller on your behalf.

The VIN has no hits on the wide web except the mecum auction.

Several members were at the auction and may have put eyes on the car, if you need an opinion on the car. The description is incomplete and the top bid (probably a shill bid by Mecum) is so low for a silver/red 340 that is suggests that car has major issues.

I agree. Worst case scenario maybe mecum would get involved as an extended Bid Goes On deal, but the whole thing is so fishy Id be very wary towards the car.

It would be nice to inspect it though.

Mark,

Mecum keeps the titles for 60 days. I’m sure they would be glad to present any offer you want to make. A word of advice is to present an “all in” offer if you decide to go that route.
Good luck. I remember the car but not all the details.

Buyer beware on that one. I think that car was at Mecum as well. That tag is NFG, pad might be OK but needs further review. Something weird is going on with the driver's side floor under the seat, the mounting plate is missing.
