Default Originals?

Are all those prices supposed to reflect the fact that these are top flight cars?

Are any of these cars in the auction possibly nicely restored but not necessarily stock cars? Maybe even drivers?

Personally, I think you ought to add the 1954 Oldsmobile F88 Motorama car to the list. I am also an Oldsmobile fan and that is the closest GM ever got back then to producing another "Corvette like" line (and selling for $3M, no less). ~IF~ I had the money, I would have bought the car myself (as I believe it is more historically significant then any other car crossing the block)... What more can you ask for then a dream car specifically designed by two of the most influential car people in history (Mitchell and Earl)... You can bet that I will definitely be visiting the museum in Colorado where that will reside and will try to personally thank "Mr. Ferrarri" myself for making it available for all to see... I think all of the CCC should make that a road trip to the museum as well (by the way, just where is the "Gateway" Colorado museum anyway?)...

I think they are restored to #1 condition and NCRS specs, and are kind of rare, you could drive them but I don't think they will

There are all manner of cars going across the block; some are restored, some aren't, some have been Bloomington and/or NCRS-judged, many haven't, some were restored by professional shops and some at home, some are unrestored originals; every kind and condition you can imagine, with real, bogus, or no documentation. All are available for inspection for several days prior to the auction - you have to know what you're looking at and not be swayed by all the hoopla.

Yes, it is - AND, the seller also pays an 8% seller's fee; B-J gets 16% on top of the hammer price on every car sold - half from the seller, and half from the buyer.

These were just the cars that sold through the end of Saturday night. Sunday was not included. I got the numbers from the B/J website.
