Gee I think if the Gold vette had gone across the block a little earlier in the evening, it just might have brought at least a full 1/3 to double more than it did. After the 3 million dollar Olds sold everything seemed to stall or was overlooked by the bidders. I know that there were two or three bidders that were at dinner and missed getting to bid on the Gold Motion car. One was a famous wrestler from Okla.

This blue car is one nice looking piece. What few parts it has on it, that are not what some of us may think it should have, don't really hurt the value that much. Joels cars are all different from each other. That was the main selling point for his cars. You could get it your way. The main selling point of this car, is that he (Joel) had something to do with it. Only time will tell if someone will reconize any of these cars from way back when, or we come across old pic from the past to help document these cars, where we can acutally see what they looked like back then.

As for this '68, I think someone will wind up owning it soon. That is a rare piece of history and one fine looking one at that. If I had the money it would be parked in my garage right now. But then I was always a sucker for a blue vette. The white stripe just makes it that much better. IMHO.

What it sells for is just a matter of who and how bad they want to own it. The Camaro that goes with it sure looks good to me. I am sure they are open to a good offer. Dave Belk was the owner and I think he sold it so each person that now owns it will try to make a buck off it, if they can. That is the american way. More power to them if they do. Personally, I can't wait till they reach a Million dollars each. He.. He... He....
