The EVS car.....they should have sold it when they could. That kind of money seems pretty hard to come by these days for a odd ball car like that.
Just my thoughts though. I am not the expert in any way.

Thanks for the info Musclerodz.
They didn't sell it for 180k because they didn't have any real bids for 180k. I'm quite certain it was shell bid. No one in their right mind would pay 180k for that abomination.

I know I wouldn't pay 180k for it. Ever. It would be fun to go thrash on for free though!:unibrow:

How is it that "false" bids can even be made? In the auction house I would think it about impossible to do that. On e-bay I can see how it would be easy to get away with. Wouldn't the auction kick them out for doing that?

I have a feeling people run their cars through auctions with ridiculous reserves and not sell them for publicity. That way everyone "knows" their car

Smart observation...that is done more than you might think.:yes:

I spent the weekend at the auction. At a reserve auction, quite often the auction house discloses in the paperwork that they can bid on the sellers behalf up to the sellers reserve price. When you see the Cherokee bid to 600K it is most likely just the auction house bidding it up to close to the reserve, hoping a real bidder will decide they need it. When you see a no sale car bid up real high, assume it is just hype and that there was no real money on the car. I love that Cherokee car....

Was that the case with Colin being shown as a bidder on the Daytona coupe? I got the impression that it was for show. You could hear him say to Dana that he was going to have to start charging for TV appearances.

I think Colin had a client he was bidding for.
