....maybe, maybe just ONE!!!

....depends how the pricing goes. I'm only really gonna buy a "good" deal. If everything is going high, I just won't end up with anything.

...it's not like I need something anyways.

Hey Wood'ster !!!

I'm seriously thinking of taking that Friday off - and going to the preview (edited: now will be attending Saturday).

Yvonne and I went to Bob's first one; which was also a two-day auction.

I was there and you wanted the Cosworth Vega.

and it went for over $20,000

Only bid on one other car, a new 1981 Corvette - 20 miles - never titled. It was red with smoked tops. Yvonne really wanted that car; went up to about $16k... and then watched it climb to about $24k.

Lesson learned - I'm a chump compared to some of those mega ballahs.

....yeah Tim, me too. Maybe out of 145 cars, I'll have a slim chance at something nobody wants.

...a Blue '69 Corvair with 8 original miles?

...a '75 Caprice convertible with 2 original miles?


...I'm sure ProTeam, Mershon's and 100 other dealers and thousands of other car people will be there. I'm just kinda going to be a part of it since it's so close to home. Might be the only time I ever see a collection of this magnitude be auctioned off.
