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.

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.

That car sold new on Long Island at Blair Chevy on 1/16/69. I last saw the car in 1998. The car was already painted black and was driver quality car at that time with a lot of reproduction parts used. Can't wait to see what the really nice cars bring.

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
