How does a "Live" bidder present at Scottsdale know if he's bidding against a REAL
Internet bidder, or BJ Shill ???????

I will never comprehend who most of these deep pocket bidders are & where/how they created so much discretionary income !!!!!!!!!

Car looks great but as many a Canadian might say "Blow at high dough". To coin a Gord Downie tune. $430,000. CDN plus import fees to Canada.

I know Bill didn't want to see those prices lol.

For the small things wrong with most cars there it doesn't seem to matter much anymore, most was easy to correct. The cars are following the prices of everything else these days. It was a good time and David and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks Bill!

I expected there would be some nice documentation, at very least the PoP. How is the axle known to 'matching numbers original' otherwise :confused2:

The inexperienced ones don’t; lots of smoke and mirrors involved. I quit going out there years ago. I knew sellers that didn’t get what they wanted and bought their car back to make it appear that the car sold. Under “no reserve” conditions, the only guarantee is that there is no guarantee.
I’m with you 110% on the money. I’d bet many are sick come Monday morning when they fly home and realize just what happened.

I have "discarded" assy line 1970 Camaro Mufflers that dont have STENCILED part numbers....Ive never seen this before .....Is that what a "$300K Fluffer" gets ????

IMO, BJ now concentrates on attracting the wealthiest people, that love to see themselves on TV, instead of the cars. How many Restomod Corvettes/Broncos/Blazers can you look at.? Yes they sprinkle in a Hemi Cuda or Superbird every now and then, but the real cars seem to have gone to Mecum. I think what those people paid for those 69 Z's was a perfect example. Fuel them up and let Superwealthy guy #1 have a contest with Superwealthy guy #2 in the next seat, seems that is what the enjoy most, not the pursuit of the car

Agreed. I started going to B-J in 1996 and have only missed about 5 years (including this one) since. The change in their type of auction cars has been very noticeable since that time. Mecum was very smart holding their January auction in Florida. Given that 2/3 of the US population lives east of the Mississippi River, the logistics make more sense.
