Default Mr.Bill and Mr. Jean do Barrett Jackson.

Mr. Jean and myself had the chance to take in a little Barrett Jackson this morning, Here are a few of the pictures I took.
Starting with a hood from a C5 so this is C5 related.
Enjoy.
Mr.Bill







































Will the real Mr. Jean please step forward...

Thanks, It was a blast for sure, I was told there were 450-500 cars for auction.

Thanks or the pics. I was listening to the local Sat. radio (90.7} car show and they tempted me to go , but other things were easier and closer, so I am glad for the pics.

I had seen that skull paint job before, just not on a vette. Pretty interesting to see cars where money is never an issue, and to see the once in a while guy that can hang with those cars via personal ability.

I didn't know how non bidder friendly the experience would be, which helped me decide to skip it. The pictures gave me insight, and I might make the scene if they come around again.

Did you buy anything?

I have a real problem with the Strand Rider estate getting into one of those multi million dollar bidding wars over some old car nobody needs. Because I have no money.

I was a non bidder, Like you no money..lol
Being a non bidder you still have access to all the cars and the view from the auction is good also.

It appears the top is the same color I've seen on the lighter Laguna Blue.
