Wow--I guess then half the auction was shady....
If you go by what you or anybody else thinks cars or property or houses or apartments are supposed to be worth---You'd better get a bigger cryin towel It's what someone is willing to pay and if you want it you put up "MO MONEY"--Simple----As far as time given to certain people or cars---------------Listen, some of these car builders and car designers are icons and I have no problem with letting them sit in the first row --They contributed to the car hobby more than you or I ever will----People are out of touch with the cost of products and services today and the large demand on them...

Well I agree on the demand and money thing but as far as big names bring cars to the table I have to disagree with the "new" BM car and 6-shooter.The BM car is a far cry from the REAL ones of the 60s and 70s as those cars were built in Baldwin By Motion.Time Machines in Hudson are just a custom resto shop like many others in the world and they were lucky to get the contract.I know a lot of guys who worked on that car and I can tell you the car without the name would have went for a lot less then 450K.A LOT less!Personally I dont see that car as a true Baldwin Motion car and I feel that its just another nice custom(Foosed up looking)car.Please no flames but this is my honest opinion.

Those weren't flames , just talk.....
The name is what sells in a lot of different arenas---
As far as the Protouring design of Motion and others----I appreciate it's thinking on engineering and pushing the envelope on design, sort of like the car hobby version of factory concept cars.IMO --BUT- hopefully Motion's PhaseIV cars will satisfy our 60's appetite and what's going on at Chrsyler and Ford promise some exciting times--- maybe they'll even fix the GTO......I can dream.....
