I was surprised to find a fair number of older gents bidding high dollars on some of the cars. I was certain that anyone older than myself would be steering away from these oldies, but, was glad to see the interest level is still up there. I was also disappointed to hear Mike Joy describe a 70 Chevelle SS LS6 Ragtop as a "numbers matching car with a restamped engine", saying that would be justified if the original numbers were decked off. The car bid to $200K. I know that has been mentioned on this forum in the past, but actually heard it for the first time.

All in all, the numbers were strong last night. But as usual, these don't necessarily translate to what you might get in the open market.

Very entertaining.
