Green ZL1 sold for 290k? Took lots of block time to get it there.. I saw Reggie bidding on it, but it looks like someone else won..Anyone know the winner?

he wasn't bidding on it....it was his car Made me sick to watch Craig Jackson practically down on his hands and knees begging people to bid!

It was Gary Holub's car, previously owned by Reggie Jackson. I remember seeing it at one of the Mecum auctions in 2008, it was a no sale at I believe around $320-330,000. It would have been really embarrassing to Barrett-Jackson if it sold for the $120K or so that it first stalled at.
However, it looked like Reggie was standing next to Gary while he was bidding; it looked obvious to me anyway that Reggie was bidding off Gary's signals.
Looked like total BS - the original bidder should have been able to buy that car at the $120K it might be worth, not $290K that they shill bid it up to.
JMHO, but the auction of that car was BS. And how many times did YOU see cars hammered sold while folks were still bidding on them, or before the second bidder had backed out? At least when you watch Mecum you feel they are trying to get the top dollar for your car; at B-J if you are not somebody, you are in line to get screwed.
