I've always wanted to go there...someday. Watching it on TV is OK but I don't understand why people pay so much. Don't get me wrong I understand the "High end" cars but when you see someone drop $100,000 for a '73 Z28 or a '69 Chevelle It makes me shake my head in disbelief.
Cheers,Barry

I'll tell her you said that. You will have a fan.The Brick was very nice and the price was low. I was struggling with not bidding, but my Bricklin is essentially an identical car- original unpainted green acrylic, all stock, 20k miles. I couldnt justify buying a second just like it. I would have bought it if it were comparable and an orange car.

I remember seeing the black '67 with the blue stinger on stage right before it was going to sell. Then came the commercial

Uh-huh. Then another commercial, and another, and another, and another...Speed Channel really sold out this year. I can't recall them having that many commericals in the past.
When the commercials started, I flipped back to the playoff game. I was able to watch most of the game and most of B-J.

Great pics for sure. I nailed one of the Fantasy bids for a vette that sold for $135K. Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough on the bid and some other person won the iPad2. I too want to make a trip there someday just to look over the auction and not buy. For those who have been there, can you get your fill of the auction in one day, two.....?
