Title: 72 Sprint sold at Lambrecht Chevrolet Auction
Post by: flash041 on September 28, 2013, 03:03:09 PM: I am sure a lot of you have heard of the Lambrecht Chevrolet Auction in Nebraska. Well I just got home and started watching the bidding live when they auctioned off a 72 Pinto Sprint! It went for $650 to someone in Florida.Any one know who bought it?

Nothing that a good rotisserie and media blasting wouldn't cure. I say save all the Sprints, they are a RARE steed.
My two Shoes UU worth..

Was there a special grill, as well? That doesn't look like my 72's grill. :)

I will if my Dad comes through with the cast-offs from his nose-wrecked 2012 Ram. :) lol

Seriously, idk. It looks like every other 72 grill, but I couldn't blow up that pic. :) The one in the pic looks like the vertical bars are closer together or something. Idk.

Post by: bbobcat75 on October 03, 2013, 07:20:28 AM: there was no grill on the one at the auction!! interior was trashed, windows down the whole time it sat there!! i personally didnt see $650.00 worth of parts, but then to ship or even trailer down to fl!! my guess is wanted title and vin tags to swap to a nicer cleaner 72 to make a sprint!!
good luck to all that bought cars at auction!!!!
