Thanks for the photos....I've been watching both nights, but after checking the results of the entire days, we really don't see much on Speed coverage. As the week goes on, and the cars get better, the commercials intensify.
There certainly were some good deals between 10K-17K the first two days. It sort of gets surreal by the weekend. I do think that Steve and Craig have put together a great variety of cars that keep any trends from developing. I believe they know how to assemble a great group of cars for their bidders.

It is a "tribute" car. The word clone seems to have been replaced by "tibute" this year
Besides corvette tribute cars, there were also a few among the camaros, mopars, and mustangs.

Re-creation is another word becoming quite popular. As long as they tell you what it is it can't be called a fake anymore. Some of these are bringing the kind of money the cars they are copying should bring. It is fun to watch it though.

I was kind of surprised to see a 70 go for $32K that had a NOM and lots of aftermarket parts on it, including an L-88 hood. Shows that all Corvettes are going to go up in price if they are maintained and, well, just look damned good!

My sister in laws dad put some funds into the building of lot 427 last night that went for 87k, I'm wondering how much it took to actually build it, was a 69 Yenko Camaro clone. Looked pretty nice, but I'm thinking they probably didn't make too much. He's also in on lot 990 going through on Saturday I think. It's a '61 Chrysler 300, will be interesting to see what that brings as well.

I think this is the one you are speaking of. We saw it being pulled from the prep area into the staging area, and then again after it sold getting parked outside. The guy that parked it thought it went between 60K and 65K, but I never verified that.

According to the anouncer, a survivor can be repainted...or the paint can be touched up. I love how they change the rules every year.
Some of the cars going across tonight are deals.

Front spoiler was interesting, but a tall speed bump could take it out and that's not a simple replacement.
Wife figured if that custom driver brought some "stupid money," our custom '64 can't be that far behind..., certainly over $40K when finished.
