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.....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........

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 ...

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

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....
