I just watched a 75 vert go for $33500, 7900 actual miles. Pretty good for a rubber bumper.... Especially since a 69 350/350 coupe only brought 24k? I think the bubble tail lights on the 69 may have hurt it!

That was a sweet '75. The '69 looked nice but clearly wasn't too original with a big block hood, the bubble rear lights and who knows what else.

"Only" 24? Thats ridiculously high for a '69 coupe.

I only caught the last of their Thursday coverage. But I saw not a single one of the undercar camera shots. I'm not sure which car it was, could have been that mid 50's Dodge, the roving camera guy held it low as it was rolling off the block. The underside looked like a field beater! I've heard that some of the first day cars are pretty raspy.

I noticed the lack of undercar camera shots too. Saw a few but not as many as usual. The first day of BJ always has the less expensive cars, today will be a little more expensive and generally speaking Saturday's are the really expensive ones. My guess is they will have more underside shots Saturday when the cars are all pristine.

Some of those lower shots reveal a few sins.
