Any thoughts on the B-J auction...?

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.

No Tivo?

Car was very clean,looked good on stage.Had newer,incorrect center caps,otherwise flawless...from what I could see.

The stage lights are casting strange "stars" on the cars,especially the bed of that '59 El Camino...hard to watch.

See everyone there

A 70 red shaker hood Boss 302 sold for about 91K last year at BJ. Current world record for a Boss 302 is 130K for a 1969. However an owner was offered 200K in a private transaction for what is considered the best 70 in the world last week and turned it down.

In know all the parties in the two private transactions and my information is 100% reliable for the skeptics in the crowd.
