Just back from the Auction, Do you remember in the late 80's early 90's. When car prices took a nose dive. Well it looks like it might do it again. It was my first trip there, and I was so Dissapointed in what I saw. Stuff they are passing off as Oringinal. Granted I dont know (every) brand of car. But I have restored enough of them, that I know what goes on what car. There was way to many Fakes there. And so much Rust and bad restorations. It was Funny. I dont know why they call it a Frame-off. I saw cars go for over 100 grand that I would not pay 20 grand for. Glad I could not afford anything there......

I think Craig Jackson should stay out of the camera and michrophone and let the people he hires to run the auction. But I guess that ego doesen't allow that. Rip the seller and buyer and could care less.
I saw one 68 Cougar stated a frame off restoration. WTF
I don't think he would make a good used car salesman if he were not born into the buisness.

I was on the Pro-Team web site today and saw that the blue/blue 70 LT-1 vert that sold for 60K is now for sale again at 90K. I thought 60K was kind of cheap for that one.
