My prediction is that will go for $75-$80k. Which will be crazy money...

Yup.

Also had a peruse through the rest of the auction catalog and picked out my favorites.

Only 700 miles since new... Does it mean that it was that terrible to drive? Or that they pushed it that far?



I will never understand a car that was not used by anyone other than a manufacturer. In case of the maker, it would be their museum piece.

I understand it, but I don't like it. It's pure speculation by the buyer. I know if I had a big pile of cash sitting around gathering dust, you bet your sweet bippy I'll buy all the special editions I can get my hands on and put them back. Of course it could backfire, but I'll drive them, not a lot, but some...

Interesting story about that one. It's kind of a Johnny Cash "One Piece at a Time" Tucker.

The movie by Francis Ford Coppola sure is worth a watch, I recommend it to anybody.

Ugh that Viper. Some other fantastic stuff in there, too. Ok, everything is great, really. I take that Packard Coupe, please.

Hmm... estimates for some of the cars are really low.

I think it's one of those situations where the "owner" of the lots is facing jail time and the proceeds from the auction are going towards his debts or whatever. As I understand it, that could mean legal complications when buying anything.
