yeah, until he found out how bad it was before being restored...............
Malitude went for $110K, the buyer held his Lear Jet to hang around for it to hit the podium. He would have gone a lot higher, but there wasn't a second guy to go with him. Great auction, lots of fun and a ton of nice muscle cars. And congrats to Charley on the sale, glad to see the car do well, it was very well received.

Well I learned the hard way that you should never let your car run after 8:00 that place was fn empty! My car was bid up to 53k looks like I'll have something to drive this summer after all theres no way I'm taking less than 65K for it.

Yeah, been there, done that. Just me and my car in the building after 8PM. never again. i would rather run at noon. But for me, no prime time, no go!

Sorry it did not go.

We actually don't know what kind of jet he had or ow high he would have bid but knowing he had a jet waiting was a good sign. The other guy stopped bidding when he was told by someone that he wasn't going to outbid the other guy. The winning bidder seems like a nice guy. The Ram Air 4 70 Trans Am was dirt cheap even if it did start out as a basket case. Those have been selling at 200k-250K. I just had a bad feeling about the car when reserve was lifted at 50K. You don't pull the reserve on a 200K car at 50K. Now I find out that the reserve got pulled because the bank owned the car and was cleaning house. Great auction. That was the best collection of musclecars at auction ever. There were good deals and bad deals but for the most part it looked to me that people paid pretty fair prices for cars. Next year should be even stronger.
