Any thoughts on the B-J auction...?

[sYc]

Friends of Motion:
I just wanted to give you a heads-up that Joel Rosen and I will be with the
prototype (#01) Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe in the tented Feature Car
area of the auction on Saturday, January 21. The car goes off that evening at
prime time live on SPEED Channel.
If you plan on being there, please stop by and visit. We'd love to see you.
Regards,
Marty

Why watch it if you truly feel that way. To me it is an exciting event that has something for everyone. It also is a good barometer for what the market will bring this year.

Because it is like watching a train wreck. You know it is
going to be bad, but you just have to watch.....

All the sparkles you see from the cars on TV can be done with a special piece that goes on over your camera lens. It is like a fine wire screen. They are using all the tricks that they can think of.....like the guy waving the checkered flag all the time. I'm impressed.

Charlie, what did that low mile Z finally go for??

[COPO]

The 11K mile 69 Z went for an eye popping $205K plus fees.

Can anyone here explain this $205,000 + price to me?
Last years $113,000 for the yellow Z was out of this world.
What can you even say about $205,000 !

Does anyone else think that the light bulb is burning its
brightest now because it will burn out soon?

So they are doing that on purpose? You've got to be kidding me See the attachment to see how bad it is on a big screen

I think there's still room for hobbyist out there, you just have to pick and choose your car carefully. If you want an 11,000 mile Z28, you'll have to pay dearly for it, but if you want a nice '70 Z28, you can have one for a fraction of that price. A very nice one sold locally for $40,000 recently. There are deals if you look for them and are open to a variety of cars. If you're willing to take a marginal car up to nice standards, you can find a buy, also. There are lots of guys on this forum that have cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that are not opposed to buying a $20,000 car and having fun with it and making it a better car.
Heck, I bought a '72 442 on ebay not too long ago for under $10,000 and had a blast with it all summer. My wife drove it, it was the first car my youngest son ever drove, my other son would "sneak" it out for joy drives when I was working. I parked it right along side of cars worth 10 times what it was worth.
Charley, saw you "prodding" two bidders last night.
