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!

Camaros look to be doing quite well!

71-LS6 · #8 04-01-2007, 12:58 AM

67 BB Vettes are looking pretty reasonable too.

[/ QUOTE ] I heard the speech, what I find amazing is that the so called experts kept touting that matching #s meant original, what a joke that is! It is like they never heard of the term restamp or bogus paperwork, trim/vin tag etc. I also heard Mr Jackson state that there is a very high percentage of first time bidders. I hope that they know the difference between the matching # BS vs real because if they don't they will not be buying another musclecar anytime soon when they find out that they just got hosed.
