Dago Red To Be Sold

Re: Dago Red To Be Sold

That was the shirt that Dave Z sold to raise money for the project while it was under construction. There was a yellow version and a white version. I have one of the white ones.

Preston decided he didn't want the flame job, though....

Thanks, I saw the yellow version, guess that goes back a few years...

Didn't know they ever considered a flame paint job on Stiletto.

Where is A. Preston these days?

Re: Dago Red To Be Sold

eBay bidding finally broke one mil (last bid = $1,000,801.00), but still well below the reserve price.....2-1/2 days left in the current bid session.

Re: Dago Red To Be Sold

I remember when Michael Schumacher's F1 Ferrari was on EBAY. Lots of high dollar bids that were retracted in the last few hours of the auction. It doesn't seem very likely that the plane will actually be sold on EBAY. If you check the bidding history of some of those who have placed bids, you will see that they don't appear to be big spenders. Could be wrong, but I would be amazed.

I have to agree with that,but you never know.

I noticed that Dago's highest bidder of $1,001,401.27 had N68gm as his user ID... Faa says N68gm is a gentlemen by the name of Gary Miller of Parker, Co.. Sad part is that no reserve is met... I have talked to folks I know (in THEIR honest opinion.) gave up bidding earlier as he said it wasn't worth that much.....I wonder what the reserve is on the beast..

Re: Dago Red To Be Sold

From the article Wayne posted, it was said the selling price was going to be 1.5 million. Maybe that is where the reserve is. With the way the bidding has gone it don't look like it will happen unless someone comes outta no where to place a bid that high. But the time on E-bay has put out the word for non-airracing board readers that Dago is on the market.

I Don't suppose Mr. Landers would like to field an entry at his events would he?

That's probably Gary Miller from the T-6 class. He flew his Dark Blue T6 (#55) this year.
