Fullscreen capture 592014 94756 PM.bmp Welcome to the Weekend Edition on Hooniverse, and I thought I’d start out with the results from an auction that was held a couple of weeks ago. As I wrote here on Hooniverse during the first weekend of March this year, a man named Larry A. Brown, who lived in Centre Hall Pennsylvania, had an peculiar interest in collecting Ford cars and trucks, both interesting and mundane. So, what did thee vehicles sell for? You would be surprised… Fullscreen capture 592014 94838 PM.bmp The vehicle that received top billing by the auction company was a 1969 Shelby Mustang, finished in Black, with only 8,500 miles, and was hammered sold for $280,000.
