One in particular was the General Motors Intimidator Monte Carlo. It went up to $50K, down to around $30K, down to $20K, up to $30K and sold at $25K. When the high bidder bid $25K the bid then went to $30K. They kept trying to get the guy to bid more then $30K. When he wouldn't bid any more they dropped it back to $25K and sold it to him.

They spent way too much time on this car. It wasn't going to bring more than 25k but they spent another 5 minutes on it. And you couldn't drive it on the roads.

We were surprised that B-J thought it was a Saturday prime time worthy car.

Not sure if was mentioned on the TV coverage or not but that car actually started out as a Grand Prix - not even a Monte Carlo.

I heard them mention that it started as a Grand Prix. I also heard someone say that GM had $800,000 invested in the car.

And lets not forget that it could not be titled for street use for reasons I do not recall but they did explain it on TV.
