The prices paid for certain Corvettes was beyond belief. Obvious restamps and trim tag changes and they still brought big $$, simply amazing.

I think that would be Steve Magnante(sp) and out of the group of commentators that cover the BJ auction I think he's the only one who has even the slightest clue.

I love how the guys on TV keep saying that numbers matching means it has its original motor.

Steve M.really knows his stuff.I'd believe what he says more than some of the other talking heads on the B-J broadcast.

Steve Magnante is very knowledgeable. I noticed he has notes on most cars which shows he does his research before going on stage. He is there because he is good not like the English fellow they had a few years ago who referred to every North American built engine as a "lump under the hood". As BJ is 80% about Muscle cars and or clones is is important to see someone who can spot the differences. That yellow 71 W30 Rag has been at every auction for the past 5 years> is is s documented car but because of the three way color change and to a non Olds color it affected the price. Steve mentioned the original color towards the end of the bidding. Keep Steve Magnante,he makes it interesting.
