Well then the guy has $47,000 in income reduction for his taxes.

Still.. the stuff is fun to watch. Just can't help myself but leave it on.

That Pontiac concept should be an interesting bid. I caught that Olds concept last year, I swear the guy with the beard was only bidding to cost "Ferrari Dude" an extra million or two! Monopoly money.

Ah, the replay is great to fall asleep to when you miss the early stuff. Visions of collector cars dancing in your head.

The Jackson cars are in super excellent condition!
Don't think our street driven cars can get those prices.
Those babies are fresh from the restro shop.

I am positive "you can't bid " unless they have a letter of credit on file from your bank.

The buyer may have renegotiated the comm. with BJ after he bought the car, you can do that if you have deep pockets and are buying 2 or 3 cars. Everything in life is negotiable, except dying.

28k For A 4 Speed L82 In Great Shape And With Paper Work Is A Good Deal-probably A 32 K Right Now
Not To High At All
If You Ever Looked At Them The Ones Going For Lower
Craked Paint, Decals Faded Normal Stuff, But It Seperates The Okay Ones From The Nice Ones
I Have Shopped For A Year For A Pace Car
And When You Look 16 K 22 Grand They Just Do Not Meet My Expectations
Remember These Are Not Restore Cars
They Are They Real Deal
Prices Going Up
P.s. I Did Get My Car
L82 6700 Miles
