Gene Bolante's 1970 Malibu Convertible -- As the seconds closed on the auction, last second bidders brought the price up another $1500 but in the end I became the happy new owner. My heart racing and anxiety extremely high, I thought I wasn't going to make it through the process. John called me right after the bidding ended to congratulate me. I quickly made payment and confirmed shipping. John in the meantime sent me all the paper work and an extra set of keys.
