A lot about BJ and Steve and Craig pisses me off, but a lot about it also makes me wanna roll the dice and take my Camaro there one day and see what happens. I see these crazy simple 1st gen "pro touring" Camaros bringing strong numbers left and right, most of them 69s but still.... do these buyers know that many of these cars can be built for what they are sometimes paying or even less?

Greg is right. 95% of what you see on the Speed Channel coverage of BJ is a facade, not reality.

I have come to the conclusion that many people can't tell the difference between a good car and a mediocre one.

I am normally very good at guessing prices and values of these cars even with the market being crazy but this auction has been nuts.

I was blown away that the carrol shelby super snake brought as much as it did. If I remember right the old shelby from his personal collection a year/years back brought about the same amount. Emptynest at 85K? I wouldn't have guessed this in a million years. I was thinking 115K at min. which still would have been a killer buy.

It only takes two people to make and auction.

For some reason Friday seemed like a better/busier day.. maybe because there was no Sunday aspect.
