Wish I could be there. I guess it doesn't matter though, since I don't have the dough to buy one of those fine machines. I spent my money on a C6.

@cmonkey713: I'm jealous.

Maybe I should have held off buying the C7. If I had stuck with the C5, I might have been able to pick up one of those C2s or that 57. No, the 57 will probably break 6 figures, too rich for me. But that is one beautiful car.
Will it be on TV?

We drove the Corvettes to the auction site this morning. There are some very nice C-2's and C-3's. There are also some driver quality and some that need some TLC. Something for everybody.

I understand these cars are being sold at no reserve next weekend here in Oklahoma City. I had forgotten how much fun it is to drive a C-2 big block with side exhaust, loud, raw and unrefined. What a ride.
