I bought the Hugger Orange L78 that came across just before the black Z28. Canadian docs, original drivetrain, runs like a top. I'm happy.

Hey Denis...Too bad I didn't get a "I crush you" picture of you bidding on it...Really nice car.

Say hi tomorrow!

I was sitting right next to the guy that was bidding against you...

im blown away the clone hemi brought more then the real deal,seems like the custom cars are gonna bring big bucks this year.

Are any of you guys having problems with the picture quality? All I can see are reflections of all those spot lights on the cars and it creates light "stars" on the TV screen from the camera lens. Very annoying. I can't appreciate the chrome or paint. It looks horrible.

Pure Hollywood smoke and mirrors. Alcohol induced bidding frenzy creates artificially high sale prices. I have been to this caliber auction locally and chose not to participate due to the overprivledged macho factor that sometimes blankets the scene. Love the cars tho, I watch on mute. Not my scene at all.

Why watch it if you truly feel that way. To me it is an exciting event that has something for everyone. It also is a good barometer for what the market will bring this year.

Do they have any live links or links to the results? I missed it last night.

Steve,
You have a PM.

Because it is like watching a train wreck. You know it is
going to be bad, but you just have to watch.....

All the sparkles you see from the cars on TV can be done with a special piece that goes on over your camera lens. It is like a fine wire screen. They are using all the tricks that they can think of.....like the guy waving the checkered flag all the time. I'm impressed.
