Any thoughts on the B-J auction...?

Seemed to be some great buys and some near record breakers.
I saw the Yellow '70 Boss go for $70K (record?)and a Citrus Green straight bumper '71 Z go for $32.5K

The tent looks huge compared to last year.I'll be there on thursday and hope to visit with lots of members.

I think that resto-mod Tri-Five Chevy (Green/White car) was a magnificent price for the car @ $70,000. The '71 Z28 (Citrus Green/Green) did not get any TV time so I did not see much of the car. I would have liked to see that Fathom Green/Light Green '69 Chevelle SS cross the block but the TV casting ran out of time...

Those Clone cars aka Hemi GTX Clone continues to blow my mind. Those odd speciality vehicles aka Corvair Truck, Fiat Cabroliet, Willys SunRay, and the VW open top bus are interesting. Boy... the money those brought.

Call me NUTS, I think the nicest car to cross the block was that mid-60's VW Beetle @ 46 hp

.
The buy of the night was that 1991 ZR1 Vette with 16,000 miles at $26,000.

Already a lot of junk going through for big money.
The buyers don't look that stupid.
I guess looks are deceiving.

It's fantasy-land out there.

I bought the Hugger Orange L78 that came across just before the black Z28. Canadian docs, original drivetrain, runs like a top. I'm happy.
