If you apply for a Bidder pass, theres a few ways to have your "method of payment" approved, but some are more complicated than others. For example, some banks will not approve a "Letter of Guaranty" no matter how much you have in an account, because you could have written a huge check between the time of the letter and a car bid. You would have to work these methods out. You have to send in a number of documents.

Bidder passes are $600 for Tier 1; $450 for Tier 2. Tier 1 Bidders get access all days plus a guest pass, drink tokens preferred parking, access to Bidder seating and the Bidder Bar, and invitations to the Gala. And a catalog of course. Early registration is over.

Adult tickets are $31 each Advance/ $35 at Gate,Tues-Wed. Thur is $43-$45. Fri is $59-$65. Sat is $70- $80. Sun $21-$25. Theres discounts for military, student, seniors, and for after Primetime on Sat.

Check the site for details.

I agree with Chris, going to be a lot of competition this year, I’m taking 12 total with 3 restomods, I hope the competition and the shear number of quality cars will bring out the buyers, we were one of the last high-end restomods to sell last year and I know two of my bidders went home without a car, so there was still money in the room. My consigner has told me that they are expecting a record number of bidders this year and could top 5,000. This had been a huge undertaking with a ton of work, I’m ready to let the fun begin, and hope we don’t take too much of a beating.

Here’s my list, I like the rollercoaster analogy above, you hit the nail on the head.

- 57 Corvette Gen V LT1 SRIII chassis w/ Schott Wheels
- 63 Corvette Split Window twin turbo Gen V LT1 SRIII chassis w/ Forgeline Wheels
- 65 Corvette “Fuelie” LS3 stock chassis with coil overs, wilwood brakes w/ Curtis Speed 17” knock-offs
- 33 Ford 3 window street Rod
- 69 Camaro 511 Big block built by Legacy Innovations
- 70 Nova Restomod LS3
- 65 Chevy C10 restomod
- 74 Bronco
- 77 Bronco
- 82 Porsche 911
- 86 Ferrari 328 GTS
- 17 Chevy Cheyenne “throwback edition” truck

I want the 68 Bronco with the 5.0 Coyote. It looks really clean, but is going way before I will have money to spend...if I have money to spend.

BTW, I just checked and there are even more cars consigned now. I think it is up to 20 first get restomods and 15 second gen consigned at this point. However, many are not professional builds and have "upgraded" stock frames, but they still crop them into the same category of "custom Corvette". Oddly, the red split window does not come up under that search name.
