Kissimmee 2017

----There were so many great race cars that I don't think there were serious customers for all of them. Fezell let "the bid goes on" activate on probably 7 or 8 cars. By the way he had 35 in the auction......Bill S

----No worries, Charley. Found something else I actually like just as much.....Bill S

Did any of Tom Lembeck's cars sell? Looks like all of them (hemi's and W30s) went to Bid Goes On.

I don't believe any of his cars sold when they crossed the block.

Could it be the market is slowing down? Interesting to see what happens at Scottsdale this weekend.

I watched quite a bit of the event, and looked at most of the results. To me it looked like a very strong market. The sell through rate was high, and cars with reasonable reserves for their condition all seemed to have spirited bidding.

A friend at work was telling me about a car he saw go across the block during the Kissimmee 2017 airing on TV. He says it was a bright blue 1971 'Cuda 440+6 car that had some type of special hood. Says the car was bid to $600+ and didn't meet the reserve. I looked through the online catalog for that auction and couldn't find anything that matched that description.

Was anyone there who can tell me what car that was and what was different about the hood? He said it wasn't a shaker hood and wasn't the dual snorkel hood. Claims it looked like a &quot;reverse cowl induction&quot; hood whatever that might be. I was thinking maybe an AAR type hood; who knows?

Are you sure he wasn't talking about the black with blue interior 1970 440+6, shaker hood ragtop? It was the only Cuda that bid up to that price frame, and this one bid to $875K.
