'07 from Scottsdale, Ariz. On Speedchannel tonite from 7-12pm....continues thru Sun. w/40 televised hours. A '02 Z11 427 Camaro coupe that was put together by the Chevrolet marketing division a few yrs. back went off last night for $90k....anyone catch it? WJ

 

I saw that- and a ZL-1 Vette went for $30k

 

.....and a '59 Roman red 348" Impala convertible for $110K....tonite will be excellent, I'm sure.... WJ

 

Warren, I think I saw your SS in Norwich CT today. I think the guy who bought it works for the city. Where did you say it was sold?

 

Yes, Dave. The guy called me w/ questions a couple of times. He lives in Norwich. The Bruso's sold or traded it to some dealer down your way and he bought it from them....Think Don did a re-tune for him, if I'm not mistaken. Should be back to 100% stock, from what he said he was going to do. Still had the converter when he bought it though, but Bruso gave him the stocker to install....10 spoke chromes on the car?

 

I see the car in the Norwich Public Works parking lot a lot. Did not look close enough to check out the rims. I'll try to look closer tomorrow when I go by.

 

I saw that camaro sell. It was a GMMG ZL1 with the 427 option. I though it went for $80k, but I could be wrong. Anyone remember how many miles were on it? Didn't they originally sell or around 80-90k to begin with including the new car price?

 

That auction is crazy. Everytime I see it the same few guy are always there. There is this one guy that buys every nice Vette that goes up for auction. I have seen him on tv spend over 2 million on vettes at that auction alone must be nice.

 

Snorman is at the auction, some of the Jersey guys know him....

 

There is a big collector right here in Paxton, huge metal storage building, name is Pete Bogren -- a big friend of Don Gartlits. He was on B-J show last nite bidding on a white '61 Impala 348", 4sp. hdtp., but he missed it at $50k...He'll buy at least 3-4 GM cars there before week is over. All he does is buy-sell classic and muscle cars -- travels continously. Hauler always unloads the stuff right down the street from my house... WJ

 

Thats got to be a sight to see.

 

damnit!! I wish I had speedvision Again!!!

 

Sat. aft. 1-20, 3:15 pm.....A 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS Z16 396 coupe just sold for $260,000. Blk. 4 sp. car -- just over 200 built. Unreal.... WJ

 

A '93 HMMWVV went for a million bucks. I feel like such a loser watching that auction with all those rich guys with too much money to blow.

 

I know..... Carroll Shelby's '66 Supersnake Cobra goes for a cool $5 million... God, I hate being poor.... WJ.

 

Bad time for buyers to be there. We left around mid-afternoon. The deals started drying up as they tried working the less than reasonable buyers into a frenzy.
Many of those cars tonight sold for much, much more than similar and comparible cars did Wednesday through Friday.

Yes, I feel that most of the good deals ended on Thursday. After watching most all of the tv coverage, I see they wait until wknd to send the big stuff thru....Maybe a couple of deals today...being the end of it. Crazy, crazy money for the stuff going on the block there... WJ

 

Sunday, 1:15pm: '02 red Z28 coupe Hot Rod magazine built "test car", supposedly 650 hp only a few miles -- pulled only $30k....it'll be a long time before any of these 4th Gen F cars are worth big $$...exception being some real specialized ones...

 

There were some fantastic deals on Friday and into late Friday night, which was a surprise to us.
I was watching a '72 454 'Vette coupe, 23k original miles and in absolutely beautiful condition. It was a very slightly and very tastefully modded car with block-hugger headers, pulleys, aftermarket wheels and some minor suspension mods. Great car, and it went for $41.2k including BC...and this was a very nice big block car. (lot 1079).
A fully done pro-street '66 deuce with a blown big block, tubbed, very nice paint (one flaw I found on the passenger side door) went for $53.9k including BC (lot 1072).
Another big block 'Vette, this one a marina blue '68 with a 427/400, very well documented, restored and numbers matching (but with mild cam), factory air car in fantastic condition went for $63.8k including BC. It was lot 1065.1. I saw this car in the tents after it was sold, and it was in as fine of shape as anything I saw in the pavilion that went for well over 6-figures on Saturday night.

Anyone see Grumpy's Toy 74 Vega go for $525K! Also Red Alert 70 Chevelle LS6 SS/DA go for $140K! I would give a kidney to have one of those but it wouldn't be enough!
