Any predictions on the muscle car auction prices for these events?

I saw in the latest Hemmings where they showed the results of the Silver Auction, and there were many cars that did not meet reserve, nor their avge selling price! Is this an omen of things to come now that the DJIA is above 10k and my 401k finally made some substantial income?

The Silver Scottsdale auction is this weekend. My personal feeling is that prices are gonna skyrocket at the BJ Auction. I believe they reported twice as many registered bidders as last year. I was told that BJ has about 17 Hemi cars going across the block and I think they are all no Reserve ? There seems to be a frenzy in the upper end that is making my head spin. At some point the bubble has to burst but I think this Auction is gonna set some Records....But then again if I were so smart I would have all the Money.......

Charley,
This morning I couldn't go to work because it was SO stiflingly cold (Is "stiflingly" a word?) so I was Net-surfing and came across Joe Conte's Corvette website and found out that HE owns the infamous 1964 red Pontiac GTO that DeLorean and Wangers had snuck a 421 cid monster into before the March '64 Car &amp; Driver test.
I decided to give him a call.
What a great guy! He told me all about the red '64 Goat and where it's been hiding all these years.

I asked him if he'd sell it and he said he wasn't planning on it until someone offered him OVER $60K for it earlier this year!
So we talked about the BJ Auction and he indicated that he might be interested in that venue... looking to get closer to $100,000 for that infamous car!

Yep, the prices are still going up and will continue to do so until all of us Boomers get too old to run 'em any longer. (IMHO, of course!)


...but what do I know?
