Started watching, prefer other auctions, but they have a 918 up for auction (reserved), and interested to see what it goes for with the Mopar crowd.

A '79 bug convertible topped 30k. Not just crazy prices on molar stuff it seems.

What about $100G's for an 80 turbo Trans-Am

I'm just wishing I had drug my big up there seeing what stuff is going for this week... Hoping one of those rich fools has some money left over after the sale!

Ok I think we hit the pinnicle of stupidity 170k for a 79 trans Am

Beat that :D

Damn! I should tell my friend about that. He still has his 79 T/A 6.6 from high school (original owner).

Don't care how "rare" a car is.

Destination: Pinnacle of Stupidity

We've arrived at our destination...

Just a little insight into what a poorly designed piece of junk these cars really are.

Did anyone notice when the Jay Leno Ford p/up stalled at $120 G's? I could have sworn I heard the hammer drop. Then someone said the truck is going for a good charity (MS) dig deep into your pockets.
Quickly the bidding went to $200 G's and the truck sold.
If the hammer dropped at $120 isn't the auction for that vehicle over?

VW bus went for $72k or 73 I think?

A White 1959 190-SL went for $192,000.......Very similar to my 1960......Money in the Bank for me...

BJ is not the real world. Every maroon with a 76 Cougar now thinks his is worth 80 grand.

The thing I'm wondering is.....does Christy Lee like men, women, both, or neither?

if you haven't gone to the event, it is one of a kind. Spent from 10 to 2 just walking the cars, the stuff, looking at the merchandise. It is quite overwhelming. I did walk the sold cars and found a lot sold for 20 to 30. Square Bird for around $20k, Bentley Arnage for around $40k. If you are car folks, come to Scottsdale for the week. Russo and Steele, Barret, Gooding, plus a great concours at the Biltmore the Sunday before auction week.

Prices are just plain "wow" ! Sheet......my 944 might bring a good buck one of these days.

there was an '80's DP Motorsports slantnose turbo (i did not take pic), real disco machine, $100k

A guy approached us to do a story on a truck he bought from BJ.
The guy swore it was a factory stock, special order truck, but admits all he knows about it is what he was told by BJ when he bought it.
It was a '62 Chevy, short bed half ton camper special. 409 four barrel motor, factory air conditioning (with rotary compressor), it did have a vintage Harrison radiator decal on a window. Guy paid $60gs for it.

In case that description didn't ring any bells, the camper special was a fancied-up 3/4 ton truck. That's what made it "special." Chevy records show no 409s going into 1/2 ton trucks in 1962. Air conditioners used piston pumps in those days. And the pièce de résistance, the casting number and serial number on the engine block show that it's a 348, not a 409. Poor guy got hosed big time.

WHAT???

You mean this isn't the racing version of a Grand National??? Ripped off again!!!
