I'm sorry but the guys doing the commentary on the 68 Impala SS427 convertible are clowns. . They are saying there were 68 Caprice SS convertibles with 4 speeds. Very rare. Ya show me one. Morons. These guys should learn a few things before talking about these cars on national TV.

Andrew,

Two years ago, I sent a rather lengthy e-mail to Craig Jackson
via. the B-J website. I strongly suggested that
they hire mfgr. specific knowledgeable commentators so each
car could be better reviewed to the TV audience. Caprice SS!

No offense to the current on-air staff, but most of these
guys ask more questions than they answer. Maybe we are
just too critical because we know some of these cars better.
I'd like to see a Chevy expert, a Ford expert, Mopar expert,
etc. if that could possibly be arranged.

Steve,

I agree with your idea. I don't expect the commentators to know everything about every car that goes over the block but when they talk about a car being very rare that was never ever even produced I mean come on. Too funny. Maybe will see a 68 caprice ss convert 4 speed at next years BJ???? LOL.

Lighten up, guys. Most cars cross the block in less time than a commercial break takes. Re-read some of the posts complaining about missing a car being sold like that.
For some strange reason, I like the tag-team announcer idea.
Considering how long those poor guys have to stand around babbling about all these different kinds of makes and models, it's hard to believe anybody could stay coherent for that many hours.
As the Walrus said, Rock and Roll.

There is no drought that Crag Jackson will be forced to bring back the reserve



[/ QUOTE ] It would be pointless to bring back the reserve and keep the current high commissions. They have to do both. they might even want to have a "buy it now" price for those who want to ensure they get the car before they can get outbid. My guess is if you are looking for a rare documented car or are selling one,you will go to Mecum, its going to be the new BJ. And no im not an expert, but i did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
