Just for the record: this is a two tone bronze with a white top. Front bumper guards. White leather bolsters and biscuits with a deep brown welt. Solenoid mounted on Left inner fender. Chromed air breather. Aftermarket A/C. The stance of this car is troubling: could have been in an accident or collision.

Bill Pratt, a successful businessman and innovator in the cattle industry from Amarillo, Texas. With Bill’s Backyard Classics in Amarillo, that is exactly what Bill set out to do when he opened his private collection to the public. And now, just as Bill paved the way with many firsts in the cattle industry, 52 vehicles from his museum will pave the way for Mecum Dallas 2018 by kicking off the auction in museum-quality grand-fashion on Wednesday, October 3 as the very first cars to cross the auction block in Dallas, and all will be offered at no reserve.

This is an all white car with front bumper guards; no A/C. Please note that the fire wall of the engine bay is black. Could have been originally a black car. Engine block painted blue. Engine could have been refurbished/replaced/rebuilt. White leather bolsters with medium blue biscuits (biscuits are split) and medium blue welt. Leather on the dash is sun scorched. Stance of this car is high in the rear. Troubling. Could indicate some type of collision, accident or damage.

Just for the record: This is an all white exterior with front bumper guards (lower guards are missing) and A/C nostrils. Engine bay has black inner fenders and black fire wall.
Could have been originally a black car. White leather bolsters with medium blue biscuits and medium blue welt. Console radio mounted on transmission tunnel. Rear Bumper missing. Drivers' door damaged at the bottom. Lots of rust and dirt in the engine bay. This car's engine bay looks as if this car was rode hard and put away wet. Door seals leaking and rust on window switches. Looks like new solenoid mounted on the inner right fender. The stance looks better on this car.

Lot W18.1 at this Mecum auction is my car 2306. After Bill Pratt it went to Motoexotica which is where I got it from.
