Did no one else notice that $300K was bid? They then asked for $310K and then dropped the hammer at $290K.

Another car that made me puke was the Kennedy Lincoln. They stopped the auction three times to hype it, and that was after it stalled at 20,000. Auctioneer had the audacity to say it was a 300,000 dollar car. Its worth what the people are willing to spend. But they kept on it until it got to 60,000.

Its like me standing out front of my house shouting its still worth 150,000 when the market says its worthless.

If I remember right Craig Jackson owns a ZL1 maybe he plans on selling it soon and wanted to get the most out of this one.

I BET CRAIG WOULD NOT SELL HIS FOR $300 ?

Speed Commentator (Mike Joy) comments really got me....

"A rebody is kind of like George Washington's AX, it just got another handle-but is it still Geroge Washington's AX??"

Lets examine Mike Joys logic. Lets say you have George's original ax. Ax head and handle intact. You buy an ax at Home Depot. You remove George's ax head and put it with a Home Depot handle. You place the Home Depot ax head on George's handle. Now you have 2 original George Washington ax's.

I don't think it got hammered too quickly, and maybe the auction was running out of steam at that point, but the the triple red '61 LeSabre convertible that sold on Sunday for $31,000 looked like an excellent buy. Looks like somebody got one helluva nice car for $31,000! Did anyone see the car in person?

Anyone still watching at the final closing comments tonight right at the close of coverage?? I believe It was Mike Joy who said:

"prices for COPO's and Yenkos are not what they were"

So-We have some cars that are questionable, Bidders are smart, the cars bring bring fair value and suddenly the media commentator passes judgement on an entire hobby segment.

Phil, they're simply attempting to justify this fiasco...

Another big problem is that the commentators have a lot ( 4 to 10 hours) of time to fill-up with chatter. With that much time they are bound to say something stupid.

If you watch Reggie bid 285k the asst. said 285 then spanky said can i get 10k bids only but then quickly took the 285, then instantly went 290, reggie went 300, then retracted then sold 290k to bidder #1265
