Seinfeld was a previous owner. Not the current seller. Also, this auction is in Midland, Texas. Not in San Antonio. San Antonio is the home base of the Kruse Family and Business. I just wanted to clear that up. Thanks for the write up.
Otis:
Thanks, I will make the corrections.
The other 17 celebrity cars are notable as well. They are currently owned by Jeff Allen of “The Car Chasers” & now “Skidmarks” fame. I believe they are all selling at no reserve.
