    Watching it live on Speed.

    Cool cars, some weird cars, a painted and decorated race car with a race uniform included...

    Well, peewee.... keep in mind that the cheap stuff sells before the cameras are ever turned on, and that many folks there have more money than brains.

        Really some of that stuff going through tonight is a bargain, it would cost 2 to 3 times as much to build some of them as compared to what they're selling for, just wait till Saturday when the High Rollers and their Trophy Wives fly in with their Lear Jets. I'm glad I'm not there and even if I were there I wouldn't have the money to spend on the Divorce Attorney when I brought the cars home!


        OK, I'm watching the re-run now, there were definitely some buys that went through tonight, 68 Corvette & others!

              I have to agree with Grumpy, for what I have seen most of those are a really good deal and I don't think they are out of range. Unless you are a really good bodyman and have a real good car to start with, paint and body will cost nearly half of what many are selling for.

                Pfft!! Only no class lottery winners fly around in a Lear Jet. People with real cash spend $50 to $60 million on a Gulfstream, or a Bombadier Global Express, or even a Boeing Business Jet (That's your own private 737.) I have a client who spent $18 million on the interior alone on his BBJ. Top that price off with an operating cost in the $12,000/hr range.

                    I rather help a friend clean rust off a Nova subframe to resurrect his Camaro, but that's just me.

                      OK, sorry my mistake, I don't "have the opportunity" to deal with those people on a daily basis so I didn't know! Secondly "no class lottery winners" (wish I were one) could care less about class, they're just having the time of their life flying around in their pressurized Cessa or Lear Jet.

                          I guessed that the puke green 30-foot long old Lincoln would go for 78K. That was my guess, and it went for about a third of that. I guess they ARE givin' 'em away early on......money. I said money.
