My yellow LT-1 was originally Ontario Orange and everyday or with every photo I see I have a differing opinion on whether I like it or not..

Great pics. I’m gonna try to make it out there this weekend. Not sure if I will because I’m still recovering from a knee replacement. In addition to being a HUGH auction, it’s also one of the biggest and best car shows.

I believe they have motorized wheelchairs you can use to cruise thru the complex. Several people were using them Thurs. Check the website.

I think the Bronze 68 is lot #535 and sold for $30.8K. Not sure if that includes the 10% buyers premium.
Is there also a 10% sellers premium that BJ also gets? Thanks Ike

Must have been something about that Ontario Orange LT1 which appealed to the buyer.
Enough to put aside the fact it is a NOM.
Not everybody considers a NOM to be a POS.
Market is what it is.

PS - I don't consider a NOM car a "POS". I just value them differently than those with their original engines.

Steve...Thanks. I was there on Thursday...the best day.
There were very few C-3's this year. As pictured some were nice. Some, however, were pretty sh!tty. On Thursday morning a red big block was having problems starting it had to be jumped twice...once running it continued to run on 6 cylinders all the way to the staging lanes.
Personally, I go to look....buying one there immediately qualifies the purchaser for membership in the 'more-money-than-sense club.'
Caveat Emptor!
They may be 'qualified' for serial numbers and etc by B-J... but for quality...it's on the purchaser.
Unkahal
ps VIP bidders get 12 free drinks per day!
ppss Sold price does not include...10% BUYERS premium nor tax (B-J is a dealer and gets charged 9.6% Scottsdale sales tax, nor shipping, nor nor nor!!!
Add at least 10% to any seen price.

My thought was, if I remember this correctly, they did not show the engine compartment at all. On most all the other cars they always open the hood to get a peak inside. Nor did they say what the NOM engine was. I wonder what was under that hood and why did we not get to see it?? Ike
