Looks Like there are some real bargains! The 70 roadrunner , 70 chevelle with the blower and the 55 chevy were steals.

Who cares... Nobody's even paying attention. I didn't even know it was happening until I saw the post, and nobody was talking about it/hyping it up.

Now that I look at results, apparently the big ATM that the boomers also live in and have been using to fund ridiculous purchases has closed for business.

Over-the-top money for subpar cars seems to have moved to a new generation of collectors-- This is evidenced by a '79 Z/28 w/an automatic and vinyl interior going for $25,850? OMG, LMAO is that ever funny... That's $152.06 per hp! And those cars are j-u-n-k.

Hey, a 79 Z may not be a 69 Z, but, they are a very nice cruising Camaro...Heck GM sold a ton of these cars....and to top it off... the quality parts are very tough to come by. Cut them some slack....

There's alot of folks getting hosed too....

Saw this beutiful DeSoto (I know, I know.....)go off at $33K.

Easy $100K into the restoration.....

I hope the owner bought it back....

ya think BJ is going to blame these wacky sales on the judge PR episode??

What about the hideous Purple 69 "Roadrunner" with the 440 under the hood?

Looks like a $7,500 car a year or two ago, sold for $30k?

Whew!

Is it odd or is it just me, Foose's cars don't seem to get as much attention at BJ as they deserve. Being that he's IMHO the top builder out there, yet other builders cars (eg Coddingtons Crap) seem to get all if not more than their money. It just seems that BJ has a better working arrangement with every other builder out there except Foose. You would think that the discriminating buyers would be the ones to buy his cars yet they seem overlooked by that crowd????

Perhaps Foose doesn't play the game correctly.
