I hope to grab as many C4 pics/prices as I can to share here.

Thats what makes BJ a classy show. Mecum for entertainment......

A rather interesting virtual working display by Ford with two Mustangs on dynos.

I saw a ZR-1 with a prototype active suspension go for big money last night.
This is the car that lead the way for the active suspension of the new ones.

Most of the cars here were going for reasonable every day prices. That Commemorative C5 Z06 was exceptional as the last built for a museum piece. The Forest green 94 was 7500 and a really good deal for the buyer. Maybe a dozen examples represented the C4's. I found but that one C5.

My issue with Barrett Jackson is the stupid ideas that it puts in some peoples head.
Since I'm looking for a car, it makes some sellers think they have a gold mine. One guy referenced it to explain his $7800 firm price on a 93 with a drivers seat that looked like a dog ate the side supports. I called him since it didn't list the mileage, he said around 170K.
The good news is my search has ended.

It is probably a bunch of old guys that have worked hard all their lives to provide for their families. Probably used every ounce of smarts to get to where they are now. Some probably looked around and realized that instead of having kids that appreciate their sacrifice, and were willing to show that same drive and determination, they have a group of undeserving, spoiled and "what about me's" with their hand out. Nothing more on their minds except where are they going to get their pole varnished next. If you have worked hard and sacrificed all your life, there is no such thing as "too much money".
