just shows everyone wants what they see on tv, nash bridges, american hotrod, and choppers, custom is in big time , original is not. Oh and when the stock market is down like past years they invest in original, when its up like now they spend profits on daily drivers w/ aftermarket a/c... cool I guess I don't have to worry about that trim plate anymore!!

The trouble with rods is that they are cutting edge this year and out of date in a short few years and will be priced accordingly. Original is always original. They aren't making any more of them although some people try.

Yes the Copo Chevelle sold. The whole thing is madness kinda like I thought it would be. But I never expected to go this wild. The Guy that sold the 400K Street rod bought it for 125K. A wrong color 67 Shelby Gt 500 with a aluminum 427 engine sells for 260K. The guy bought that 427 engine from Shelby last year and installed it. So he had a wrong engine, wrong color Shelby and a letter from Carol that he has the only one and some dope pays 260K..The 210K 55 Chevy was a Killer car that the owner was in about 190K. Full tube frame with a C5 Vette Transaxle and a killer big block. At Russo and Steele tonight they sold the #1 Prototype 66 Shelby Mustang for 260K. It was a stunning car but they figured it would bring about 140K. There are some very wealthy People coming out to play with cars. Some of them know what they are looking at and some just want the shiniest car. I think my Shelby is the best one there is but I bet if it had gone across the block right after the one with the wrong color and engine it would not have brought as much. The 2 Factory Ford team Mustangs sold for 27K for the good one and about 35 K for the crummier one. 27K was cheap but nobody seemed to want a old Ford Drag car. The Porsche CTR Yellowbird was built at a cost of about 300K but sold at about 50K. That is a 200 plus mph car that won the One lap of America race. In all this mess there were some great deals. I am absolutely exhausted. This what you would call car overload...Oh wait, I gotta go back and pay for my Yale tomorrow..and here is a pic I forgot.
