The Bird should be one of the highest sellers this year. Just the sort of thing a car collector can brag about! Number one cars rarely get out to the public, and there is only one "first T-Bird"!

I only caught one segment, and then only a part of that hour. A two tone '66or 7 Nova street machine hit the deck and I guessed it would go around $30k, actually hit 32, so not too bad. Crowds are always light the first and second days. By Thursday there should be more activity there, and Friday/Sat will tell the real tale. It's a buyers market out there so desirable stuff will still pull the good buck, the less so won't do as well. If they're still on the "no reserve" policy there could be more people buying back their own car if the buyers don't agree on how nice it is. That GM heritage stuff is tough to predict as there's not much to compare to...........a pure emotion market there. The guy that bought the active suspension Vette and the Earnhardt prototype Monte is a dealer out of Georgia, so he must figure he can turn 'em.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I don't remember them televising tuesday nite before...I didn't think the started that till thursday before...I like watching the "cheapies" as well as the high dollar Saturday night stuff...I remember when hot rods were all home made.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
