A guy had them stored. I believe the guy was a member of a family that owned a dealership. This guy, the original owner (if you can own something without titling it/them) decided he would sell them for 200K, but no one offered him that. Later, William and Shawn went and looked at them. Shawn was the money man and offered far less which insulted the guy. They left but somewhat later, the guy called Shawn and accepted the offer.
The cars had been parked since they were new. One had apparently been used as a demonstrator and the other one had virtually no miles. They had the usual problems of any car that has been parked for 33 years and William set out to get them back into driving condition and then they were detailed.
Shawn put them on Ebay and shill bidders ran them up to a very high price and then disappeared rather than actually buying them. Some of the classy guys in the Buick world, I suspect, that could not stand it that Shawn and William had bought them.
Some magazines got word of it and they got a lot of publicity. They then decided to sell them at Scottsdale last fall. They sold as a pair and some one bought them. Given the prices that GN's with low mileage are selling, he got a pretty good deal.
Shawn made a little money on the deal but probably not as much as he had expect given the the fervor of the phony bidding on EBay.
