Not sure if there's to many custom/protouring cars here, economy or what. There are about 120 more cars this year then last, so maybe there aren't enough bidders to go around.
Sucks Mark. I DVR'd it and fast forwarded it through like 5 hours of coverage just to see it behind a shelby for 5 seconds. I was totally let down for you.

Welcome BACK to the days where you were lucky if you got 50% of what you spent building a car when it came time to sell.

You take out all the "buyers" that hawked their house equity to buy a shiny new toy... since those days are over... and there's just not that many people left to bid these prices up.

Great to be a buyer - not so great to be a seller (aka CELLAR).

Your car was killer Mark... it's not you -- it's the market.

I agree with the Mecum auction, at least you get to set the reserve and you can remove it if it bids high enough on the block. In my opinion BJ has ruined the auction business with there look at me attitude.

One of them called a blue 67 Camaro definitely Pro Street. This is not a passing fad. These guys should do their homework and get a clue. Am I the only one thinking this? Ok, Rant over.
not to mention they don't know the difference between a resto-mod and Pro touring car. They also have been making many mistakes on just cars in general. They covered a 65 Olds 442 and everything they described about the car was completely wrong.

I can't stand the commentating... sadly these guys seem to know nothing about American cars in general and after five years of muscle cars dominating they show they haven't made an effort to learn? And some of the things that they focus on???

You're looking at a Shelby GT500 Convertible and the remarkable thing you pick out is that they use Lucas fog lights?

I watch it with the volume turned down. I wish you could see the entire footage, get a look at cars that a regular Joe might dream for... or at least get a laugh at some of the stuff that goes through.

They asked what I thought it would go for. But all that is totally irrelevant . It's what two people are willing to pay.

Thanks all. I'm not sure what I'll do next, probably a 1st gen Camaro.

anyone else surprised the 1.7 million dollar Bugatti Veyron only hammered for 700K? million dollar depreciation in 2 years!...now that sucks ass! then the big player who win the bid backs out and said it was a mistake he wasnt the high bidder...and Jackson himself bought it for the hammer price!
