BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

"Ferrari Dude" just bought that Oldsmobile show car for $3,000,000. From $2,000,000 to the final bid he was bidding against himself. No other bidders, no other phone bidders. There should be a law against that kind of bait and switch. Watch, the car will be back next year and sell for $150,000. It looks like they found a new "Yellow Jacket Man". Oh, wait, he just spent $500,000 for $150,000 worth of Corvettes. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

I saw them too. I think Steve was holding Charley's arm down so he wouldn't bid on the Olds! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Everything since that Olds concept car has gone for more than it should so sellers tonight will be happy.

Unbelievable... https://www.yenko.net/attachments/119785-nutz.gif
Charley got a Haircut.

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

njsteve - why would he bid up his own price? What is a yellow jacket man? And why would that car be back next year for $150k? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

That's the same yellow jacket guy who bought the DY '69 Z last year for 120-ish. The commentators said he sold several Camaros at B-J yesterday.

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

$505K for the Boyd car? Man, these people have really lost their minds. The Olds is supposedly going into that museum in Col so I doubt it will ever be sold again. The insanity continues...

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

Looks like the gold Vette is coming!

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

Although the dude bid against himself you really can't put a value on that Olds...but 3 mm !! Thats a ton. Did the Motion Vette go ??? Did I miss it ?

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

No, and no...about 15 cars away...

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

How can you bid against yourself? If you're the high bidder at $2 million, there is no need to bid any more and even if you do they should only take the amount it took to make you the high bidder. If there was a reserve, then bidding against yourself to meet the reserve makes sense.

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

the big guy standing behind the car was going against ferrari dude....did you not see him go get in his face about the car at 2 mill.....

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

I am pretty sure he upped his bid ahuge amount just to be a big shot before the other guy outbid him once or twice

With a Hemi !!!

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

How does a 440 6 pack Superbird sell for $100K and a hemi Superbird sell for $280K? I'd rather have the 440 6 pack to drive and I'd be saving $180K! Crazy stuff.

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

Maybe, but I'd rather have a Hemi Superbird over a Cuda myself. And the Cuda went over 300 so I guess it's how you look at it.

That's an understatement...not only did he call B-M the "Pimp My Ride" of Chevrolet cars, but said if the guy listed it in Hemmings tomorrow he'd only get half that! OUCH!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Because he doesn't even know what it is.....he's supposed to be a car guy. Can you tell he's a Car and Driver guy or what? He doesn't seem to know anything about the musclecars and he doesn't seem to appreciate them at all. Some of his comments are just idiotic. I especially like the one where he commented on the '63 split window coupe when he said, "now if this was a '63 with a big block it would really bring big money". The other commentators had to tell him that they never made such a car. Unbelievable.

spose Joel told ol Brock to go pound sand years ago when he wanted to flog one of his cars for a write up.....

Did Alan say that it looked "Home built"?
He really likes the Euro cars and the road racers but he has no idea about the drag racers or the street racers.

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

Th other cutdown was when brock told alan the front end looked like a ferarri and alan said that "he was being charitable"

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

I thought they cut the bidding a little short--The fella Jim on the phones really wanted this car--and gave extreme signs to the auctioner that he wanted this car--Think it would have gone for a bit more--IMO----
I wished they would have opened the hood at least----
Yeah ,I GATHERED from Brock's uniformed comments, that he didn't care for the car--The "Pimp My Ride" and Hemmings crack was a little over the top Brockie Boy-- https://www.yenko.net/attachments/119850-hifinger.gif

Re: BJ: Beyond the valley of the lunatics
 

Them forgein weenies would crap their pants if they drove a real car. I like how they spasm when describing the power of some 90hp sportscar going around a turn. My neighbors farm tractor has more than that.

I think there is also some jealousy at play here. Notice how the american muscle and hot rods have killed the forgein stuff price ways..like their beloved porches and fairies. I think they have "shrinkage" even thinking about it.
