What just happened at the auction? Warren Johnsons pro stock car only bid to $87,000, his fellow x racer Joe Amato put in a last minute bid of $90,000 and immediately the aution stopped without trying to get the bidding any higher. Looked awful suspicious to me. I bet the car is going right back to Warren Johnson.

you saw that too!!!!! that is just smelley to me . as well as a bunch of other stuff that just didnt seem right from wed on . some cars go for nothing .sure makes one wonder . i am glad i only go to russo and steele. everything is slower and more controlled . also cars can have a reserve which protects against people grouping up to get a car for nothing . if it doesnt meet the reserve all it costs is 1500. i bet that there are a few sellers that wish that was all they lost . sure glad i dont want the limelight of that place

Whats the deal with Steve Davis? Why is he so Ford bias? He and his sunglasses make me want to puke. I did really like the Boss 429 though.

Warren does not own that car so it cant go "back" to him. A guy named Norm Bierhorst ran it in Super Gas and decided to restore it with some help and old parts P/S parts Warren still had. At least that is what NHRA.com said. Besides, they probably did not have $90K in the car so why would they try to buy it back? It is possible to find an old "big name" Pro Stock rolling chassis that has been running in Comp Eliminator or Super Gas for several years for around $25K and the rest of the parts did not come to the remaining $65K. Just my take on it.

Those Shelby's are bringing some big jing, but I never did like them, and still don't.

Guess I'm a GM Guy. The new ZR1 is going across pretty soon.

An interesting site, but chalked full of inaccuracies about the technical specs of the cars.

The BOSS 429 that sold late satuday night belonged to one of my old classmates. We used to cruise main street in Newton Ks in it. Cool car

I caught some of the auction but not allot. Were there any ZR-1's that went through it? Year & Price?

Talk about flakey....the hammer actually dropped, the vehicle declared sold @$220K on a vehicle this morning. They were showing the "happy bidder " that won at that price. The next thing you see is the auctioner (Spanky Laciter, I think that's his name)) reopening the bidding on the sold vehicle. He than ran it up to $250K then hammered it sold at the higher price. WTF???
