You also get TWO Stingrays in that pic...so double the money....Plus a wild stunt w/gramps riding a dog on a bike one handed...
I'm thinking 3K on that one...

This just shows how crazy things are getting. Some people have the cash to pay whatever they have to for something they want. Kinda like a second childhood on steroids ! That being said, this pic now has provenance and who knows...But let em spend their money, more worthwhile stuff in the marketplace for us !

In a age when all your pics on your phone , maybe you should think twice ?
Many of us have photo albums and or boxes of old photos, what dose the new generation have ? Pics on ther devices that get lost when they jump in the pool with a phone in ther pockets.

Anyone with a very late '68 Orange Krate want to put it on Ebay and claim they are the kid in the picture with his original 1 owner bike?

is the kid someone famous?

It was the El Camino in the background that drove up the price. Chevys rule!

My grandfather (now 90) had a few el caminos .He had a red 66 that I thought was destined to become mine...but sold it off when his health started going. Damn

Maybe it’s one of those estate disputes; “Well, everyone wants this cool pic of dear old Dad when he was a kid. The only fair way to settle it is throw it on eBay and let em fight over it there”.....

If this is legit I would love to know the story behind it. It seems like "This American Life" could do a whole show about it and get to the bottom of this mystery.
