I was sitting in the bidder area Saturday night, and I feel like the booing was directed at Steve Davis, too. The amount of buildup to the '55 driving in really made it a downer to not hear it run, and then add to that Steve talking about how they couldn't start it due to "safety" reasons. If he had just said, "those old WWII plane engines are a little temperamental sometimes," I think it would not have been as bad. The booing was pretty classless, however.
It seemed to me that the money some of the pro touring type of cars got was all over the map, though. This was especially evident with the solid axle Vettes:

The titling situation could have affected the blue one, and while it may not have been as nice as the orange one--a 200k+ difference?
The lot right before the blue Vette also went for pretty low money, I thought:

Since it was behind the ropes, I couldn't really look it over, but this looked like a really nice car.
