Cutting to commercial right before the Deuce rolled across was a nice touch...

That is how I missed the Deuce!? Novas get no respect, no respect at all! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Rob,
Can you share the scope of the paperwork you mention regarding the White Yenko Chevelle. Is there a special story behind the Cowl Plenum cold air induction set up, which is on the car?

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

you can look up the aution results here....

Was there a 67 Yenko Camaro there? I don't see it in the results

All they showed on the Deuce was the grill as it came up behind the Yenko Chevelle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Nothing too special, Stef, just a short list of Y-Chevelles that went to Friedly in Iowa, and his car was on it. From my understanding, that was the only documentation the car had.

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Rob, Towards the end of the Auction they were RUSHING the cars thru--the NOVA was auctioned off during the commercial, I was almost going to bid on it at the end but by the time I paid the fees and transport and Full tax plus paint and stripes well I passed. After the TV coverage there were still alot more cars to be auctioned off. The '68 YENKO Camaro was rushed thru and the Seller was upset as people were still bidding on it and there was no reserve and it went for only $98,000. Phil and I talked to him after the auction and he was Not happy about it. Reggie was MAD after the ZL-1 and he didn't seem to care about the Yenko Chevelle, he probably should have talked alittle more about the YENKO as he does talk them up good.. As for the Allan the English Announcer he FAVORED anything Foreign and during the commercials he acted as if he was bored and he evened yawned. I think they should have a seperate announcer for the Amercian Cars.. The hit of the show was Don Johnson, he was very friendly and funny.. Also they would cut away to commercials due to the fact that a couple of times there were fighting on the stage over mistakes on price and in one case an owner bought his car back at the last minute as he felt his car was going too cheap... I'll be back next year again as it is an experience to be there. Mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

The 1968 Yenko Camaro was a stone cold bargin and one of the Buys at the sale,IMO.

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

I was there to enjoy the sale and facilitate the spending of OPM. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I didn't buy anything, but came close a few times.

Re: News from the Auction front.

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Well, bring him to the board. We'll help him out with that Grossman Chev. Deuce!!

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

who was the guy with the ponytail that looked like a petty?he was bidding on the higher end cars.is that supercars?

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

It wasn't me. I was curious who he was also. He was high bidder on the Nash Bridges Cuda.

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Totally a guess here guys,but could the Ponytail have been Tony Begley from NIAB?He had one last time I saw him,Brownish/Blond Hair,cowboy boots?

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

It wasn't him Rick...

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

No problem. Let me know if you want me to e-mail the pics to you. I have several other cars (a nice GT 500 - Red)that I have pics of, but none that are Supercars, if anyone is interested. Couple of shots of some of the LS-6 cars, some Z's and what looks to be a 60's Plymouth drag car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] If anyone is interested in the pics, just let me know.

I would like to see any pix of Chevelles.Did you get to Russo Steele and take pix of the Red 26 mile LS-6?

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Mark, didn't you take any pictures of my new truck ?? I am crushed! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Jim

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Unfortunately, I did not get to Russo Steele this year. Next year I hope to make both.

NWYENKO - Sorry about the truck pics, I tend to focus on the Camaros and Chevelles. I will post the other pics from the auction tonight. It may show up in the background of some of the other photos though!!!! Which tent was it parked under 1,2, or 3? If anyone wants the pics e-mailed just send me an e-mail, and I will get them out to you.

This one should be familiar. It was hard to get any better pics as it was a crowd favorite. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Comet or Thunderbolt?? did it have an Alum front end??

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Jeff,
I did not get a chance to check it. I doubt it was a T-Bolt though. They had most of the really high end cars under a different tent area. It was a neat car though.

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

I was working Friday night in Tacoma, WA loading the CSX (SeaLand) Anchorage bound for Alaska.(almost everything shipped to Alaska goes through Tacoma).....anyway amongst the many new cars that I always see there was a car open rack container with two of the Barrett-Jackson cars. One was a 64 Chevelle Dk Blue convertable and the other a "pro-street" (kinda) 72 Red Camaro no reserve car that evidently sold for 13K http://www.barrett-jackson.com/aucti....asp?id=172421
Some of thise non reserve cars dont seem too highly priced , BUT what is the buyers premium on them????

Re: News from the Auction front.
 

Chuck, the buyers premium is 8%. Don't forget the shipping costs of almost always at least a grand! Last year Russo Steele shipped for free but I didn't hear mention of that this year. Oh by the way Barrett jackson refunds your $300 bidder fee if you buy a car. That helped me justify the purchase to LaDonna!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Jim
