Forgot my camera in the car.......The first couple of hours were all cars in the $10,000 range......a couple of real deals went thru ....72 Olds Cutlass Convert lousy color (Gold) , but a very nice car went for around $8200....

I looked at that Cutlass

the side rear window glass channels were rusted through, the rear bumper license hinge was nearly rusted in half, the car was so full of rust it was not funny, the dash had a flat plate or aluminum pop riveted ver the area where the original radio was with a late model CD stuck in it, the price it brought was reflective of what it was ... lots of lipstick on that one ...

.a 64 ElCamino White with a 406 for around the same price.......Then comes along a Nash Metropolitan that went for $40,000 and an Isetta for $41,000.....go Figure..
Bumped into Charley, seen Cana and Colin driving around in a Golf Cart, Mike and Stefano walked past
The GM cars ..........Hummm!!......Some are pretty nice and some are just so, so.....Most are sold without a Valid Title and are deemed not Highway Legal....
I'll remember my camera today......and I'll take some Pic's of the Nickey Nova that the Chevy Connection has ....gonna be Interesting to see what Stefano has to say about the Doc's........

the GM cars went for stupid high money for nearly all of them, except being an 85 Olds conv in MSU green & white for $2250, THE buy of the day IMHO

[Charley Lillard]

LOL...How can a 85 Olds ever be any kind of buy ?

We were out the door to see the Clint flick but i had just enough time to set my VCR and watch one car go through. It was a black 69 L78 Camaro with TA's and alledged to have born in driveline and "pedigree" or "provenance" Car looked decent and it went for 39k

Was it "well bought"?

was that car an automatic? if so, it could have been my old car.... the tight hockey stripe at the 396 script was a dead giveaway to me, mine was EXACTLY like that and had 100% original drivetrain.... I sent it to Grand Cayman in the late 90's and it came back up and disappeared after the 2004 hurricane....

That car has also a build sheet in the window. $39000.00
for a black l78 69 camaro thats less than half price for the car. Yes Less than half last years value???????????

all I could see on the camaro was a supposid picture of a vin on the block when I watched it on the speedchannel. did not see a buildsheet on the camaro, but on the l78 nova, yes that one had a buildsheet.
I think prices are pretty good, except for the black camaro. I liked the black zr1 vette with the hydraulic suspension. too bad about all the wierd titles on the GM cars.
does not look like we are in a recession from the show from what i can tell.

Any 67 Z's going across. I would be interested in what they go for and the thought of the cars that sell.

a nearly zero mile convertible ... ? how much would a nice beater cost?

[Mr70]

Charley..I know at least 3 guys on the Southside who'd cut you for saying that.

[black69]

and on the southwest side of chicago they would cut you 4 ways (foways) for saying that about an 85 olds..
as my old neighbor would say the 4 ways are
upways
downways
sideways
and frequently...

and to be honest, this was stolen from the southside...
