Not only are we basement bloggers, we are also "Conspiracy theorysts".
Tammy Allan is a very well known car collector, and is always at the B-J auctions buying and selling. She has a pretty exstensive car collection and museum. If I remember corectly, she is big in to Mustangs.

The Classic Car Collections of Tammy Allen

The Classic Car Collections of Tammy Allen
In recent times, the former chairman of VECO has been making waves in vintage cars
Colorado's Tammy Allen is the daughter of Bill Allen and worked on the board of VECO Corporation until the company's acquisition in 2007.
The company was an Alaska-based oil pipeline service and construction company, perhaps best known for its part in the clean up following the Exxon Valdez oil spill when eleven million gallons of crude oil leaked into the waters of Prince William Sound.
Exxon Valdez was the worst oil accident until the recent BP disaster, and VECO was credited with preventing the damage being even worse than it could have been, thanks to its quick actions.
However Bill Allen was jailed in 2007 having been charged with perjury in connection with the corruption trial of Senator Ted Stevens, after footage of an interview between himself and the prosecution was discovered in which he contradicted evidence that he would later give at trial.
Tammy Allen, now known by her married name of Kerrigan, succeeded her father as board chairman, and negotiated the company's sale to CH2M HILL, commenting,
"This is a wonderful outcome for VECO. When we look at CH2M HILL's clients, their strong financial and global industry position, and their employee ownership model, it clearly is a natural fit for our business and workforce."
Now, amid rumours that Allen may be setting up her a rare car hire company, she has been making a name for herself at auctions of rare and collectible cars - so much so that the internet has been buzzing with questions from car fanatics who want to know more about her.
In January 2009, the Serial #1 50th Anniversary black striped satin-gold Hurst/Viper unveiled at the sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for a record-breaking $250,000 to Allen who also bought the #2. The proceeds were donated to charity.
Viper Magazine approved. "Hurst/Viper is a striking alternative for an enthusiast who wants something special, something that comes with the legend of Hurst and up-to-the minute Viper performance." it noted.
In 2009-10 Allen has bought dozens of cars especially in Las Vegas, including a Messerschmitt KR-175 (Mini) and Vipers 1996 GTS 8600 and RT/10. (Allen paid $69,000 for the RT, a price which surprised some collectors, but was endorsed by others as a car likely to pick up value quickly over the next few years.)
She is happy to bid over the estimate to get what she wants, but eventually backs off if the prices become ridiculous.
"She and her people know cars. I would pass on the blonde jokes - she's a pretty sharp lady", commented a Viper Club of America (VCA) web forum user.
Another poster concurred: "We should be recruiting her for the VCA!!! I really love her taste in cars!"

sorry about that Tammy lets say Her. pictures of her and I'm saying yes. she is buying a lot from them she has been to parties with them. the vary thing the library did not want is happening with a fake car. soon we all can rent it for parties and things. but at least then we'll get to look at it.
doth thou protest too much......
just my .02
a point was made to let everyone know tammy bought the car at a premium. i personally feel the first buy was a sham and that tammy actually bought the car at a lower price.

I have seen pictures of her displays and she has a first class set up. it's way of of town. a town that is far away from anything. the easiest way to get there is to drop down from 180 about the center of wy.
Hey, Terri and I were funeral directors in Grand Junction and only wish I knew about her collection back then. I agree, it was like living in a gravel pit.
another point to make on my theory that tammy bought this car on the cheap....if she was willing to go higher than the auction value, why didnt she just buy it in the auction itself? why wait and buy it after the sale?
She said she was talked out of bidding on it by her friends while it was being auctioned, then went and made an offer later because she decided she still wanted it. The car was one of the reasons she was there.
