News from the Auction front.

No matter how many times they say essentially "if it's in the Reggie collection, it MUST be real", the smart buyers don't fall for it. If that '57 was a "real" Black Widow it would have been at least double, IMO, of course. Maybe the stuff he's shedding from his collection is finally getting the premium it deserves, a negative one.

As far as the dolts announcing. Mute! Wonder what they'll say when the Yenko Chevelle goes through for $125,000 PLUS tonight.

Hey did the Chevelle go through ? Not bad money for a 62 409 Impala.. Although I wasn't there to see it I thought the 66 Impala 427-425 horse car went pretty cheap.They kept saying it was really a nothing car except for the big motor.

Reggies car was not a black widow but just a regular F.I. 283-if it was even originally F.I. Reggies car is a 210 model, the black widows came as 150 series "stripper" business coupes (kind with small side "spear" trim and no back seat. Most of the BW I have seen where white and black two tone. Also the BW had the 6 lug special race wheels with no hub caps. Reggies just had the regular 5 lug with small 210 series dish hubcaps.

I liked that 67 Fairlane 'R' code 427 with 225 original miles. I thought it would have gone for more than $70K though. I was at a hockey game and it was in between periods so I went into the little brew pub they have in the arena and had them turn on the auction. Other people watching had no clue what these cars are worth and they were all stunned at the prices the cars were selling for. I'll be watching tonight.

Did any body see when an announcer tried to interview Reggie he kept walking away
He looked tired and disgusted Then you see Alice Copper jumping up and down and happy to be there Reggies cars last night were nice cars but not original all modified
but nice Joe is right about the black widow as bein a 150 series some where I have a write up on it As for the English announcer and Brock Yates give me a break a 66 big block impala not worth much and a 409 is nothing more that a truck motor and that a car
With a 283 is worth more ?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
ps Charlie nice pick up [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

[JoeC]

You are right Dave. That 57 Chevy is not a black widow race car. It is a street car that looks like a black widow race car. That's why I thought it would sell for a high price. Maybe it's not a real FI car but it looked like Reggie thought it would go higher.

here are some big guns going off tonight.
lot #644 LS6 convert
lot #695 ZL1 Camaro
lot #715 Yenko Chevelle
lot #716 Yenko Deuce

[Belair62]

I think Brock was the one who said the 59 Impala 348 convert would have gone higher if it had on of those 327 fuel injected engine! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
