Check out lot 1342. I can bet these guys are stoked. According to their sales ad they more then doubled there 5 year old money. There are a handful of cars that brought real good money.

Kenny and I were discussing this fact, But there is no real direction on what was popular and what was not except quality. But some quality cars got skipped or went cheap.
Now see, lot# 1342 is what I would expect a car with that kind of work done to it to sell for. But I would be quite pissed if I was selling one of those quality cars that went cheap. If I were selling something of that caliber I think I would stick to a reserve auction.
