I'm struggling to find the time to watch the hours and hours of auction coverage that's threatening to clog up my DVR. I think I'm presently working on Friday afternoon. At least when watching the recorded program, I can fast forward through the Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and other crap. I'm usually pretty good at predicting what kind of $$$ a muscle car or street rod will bring, but this year, the market appears to be volatile. I'm way wrong most of the time, with nice cars going for half of what I think, or ugly, dated builds getting big money. It is interesting to see some resto mods and non numbers matching clones fetching huge numbers; the purists must be very angry
I will say one thing- if you're a "car guy", you have to put on your bucket list to go to a B-J auction at least once. Best damn car show on the planet; I went to Scottsdale in 2014, and can't wait to go again, maybe in 2018.
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....
