The Caddy sold for 38k, a bit short of the 80k he was expecting.

His '54 Rolls comes up within the next hour.

What about the 69 1/2 M-Code Super Bee? Something had to be wrong there. Said it was a matching numbers engine/trans/rear yet it sold in the 60's? This was a really unusual car too, being a post with buckets/console and PS & PB, all rarities on an M-code Bee, especially a post!

We need to remember that unless you're there to see, feel & touch the car & the docs, you can never judge an auction car on TV from 1000-2000 miles away. Are prices down from two years ago? Yes, but what may look like a bargain on TV often looks like a POS in person.

That's for sure...

"what may look like a bargain on TV often looks like a POS in person."

I'll third that.

That red & white 1970 "supposed" LS6 Chevelle convert sold for $150K....obviously didn't fool anyone knowledgeable

Didn't Ron Pratt get the Red LS6?

I just got back from the auction and the quality of the cars overall in general was really below average. Some of the cars mentioned as bargains on this thread upon closer personal examination were market correct even for a few years ago. They simply were not up to the standards one would expect.

The lack of quality reflects a couple things in my opinion. First the no reserve format is killing BJ in terms of consigning great cars. Who wants to take the chance in this market with a special car at a no reserve auction? Secondly for whatever reason you choose there were simply not a lot of buyers or spectators for that matter at the auction. Saturday night was like a ghost town for an auction. Lets just say parking was not an issue and parking most any Saturday night at any major strip casino is tough. I was walking around at 7PM tonight (Saturday) and it looked like it was closing and everyone was packing up to leave? The place was empty. Lots of shocked sellers as well. Very few did well.

That wasn't the green LS-6 owned by Joe Z. that just got 65K.
