I see a 69 Z28 brought $180K (lot 1139). Does anyone know anything about that car, it looks pretty nice but the description on BJ doesn't really show anything special about it.

Added RS and added x33. Likely added hood and spoilers? Where does it end. Stupid buy. Bottom side was spray bombed black. Didn’t even have a smog system...

And to think he could have had a grabber green boss 429 for another 10k .....

I was surprised to find a fair number of older gents bidding high dollars on some of the cars. I was certain that anyone older than myself would be steering away from these oldies, but, was glad to see the interest level is still up there. I was also disappointed to hear Mike Joy describe a 70 Chevelle SS LS6 Ragtop as a "numbers matching car with a restamped engine", saying that would be justified if the original numbers were decked off. The car bid to $200K. I know that has been mentioned on this forum in the past, but actually heard it for the first time.

All in all, the numbers were strong last night. But as usual, these don't necessarily translate to what you might get in the open market.

Very entertaining.

Phil, I will be 52 in February. And been into the muscle car scene before I could drive.

Was just talking to a friend yesterday, he's 53. he was watching the show too. He's not into the stuff like me, so I was telling him about the "new" terminology from when we were teens and early 20's, and how it's change?

NUMBERS MATCHING used to be what is now "born with". Now it means the correct date coded parts for the given body. We were talking about a guys 1967 or 1968 GT 350. HE was told, it's numbers matching with the Roush 347???????????? Ya can't figure that one out.

It's now that guys who used to be into the market as teens, now have the $$$ to get back in. My thread on my friend buying the hemi RR at Mecum for example. But they haven't stayed up on the new wording like above or market values.

X2. Not a great car. Missing RS wiper motor, VE3 jack. Not built w/D80. It was displayed behind #1114, Le Mans blue RS Z/28. It was comparable and sold for $104,500.

No point in trying to make sense of either sale.

----And yet, Staluppi was buying cars left and right. He is still a big car guy. Just rotating stock, I think!......Bill S

As always, BJ cars sell for more money than their worth? Look at Pratt. He didn't make any thing on millions of dollars of investment in the car market. But then again, he spent stupid money on BJ cars at the advise of Steve Davis. I can't hardly watch BJ any longer. Mecums is the place to buy and BJ is the place to sell?
