Any thoughts on the B-J auction...?

I was shocked!

[Speedrx]

yea, same guy bought the 70 LS6 ragtop and the ZL1 Camaro for less than the price of the race LS6 ragtop.

Who got the better deal?

Same guy got a steal on the last L-88 vette built. That guy got 3 awesome buys IMO.

Was he a Texas boy?

$450K for a ZL-1?? That seems to be the steal of the auction unless there is an issue with the car. I thought another one sold recently for almost twice that amount.

Yeah, I was wondering what the deal on that was too, especially after they said it was an ex DH race car.

I think the exact same...
Unless the sellers buy them back?

I think the Bobby Alison hemi wing car was a real steal at $300K. Seems like the big dogs called it an early night. Some real bargains within the last 30 minutes.

I'm thinking some of the big dogs went to Pavillions/Russo for some "shopping". I had eight different offers on my car..."sorry, not for sale sir"

I thought that Pontiac Banshee was the steal of the auction at 195k..considering the other concept cars were in the millions.Quite a few items on that car made it into production vehicles several years after.

Other random thoughts-

Green seems to be quite an acceptable color all of a sudden.

LS6 Rag fetches more than a ZL1.

Ray Allen car woke the place up-hands down the fave with the announcers and crowd(pre futureliner)

Ford drag cars soft.

I saw the #9 Z-L1 at the Rand Workman auction in NY this past September And it was a tired car needing attention. But still at 450 you could do a full frame off and still be sitting pretty in that one. They also said Dick Harrell owned it.
