So I am assuming you are at the auction? Curious what the attendance is like under the current circumstances - covid? You can't see much besides the car going over the block when watching on the internet.

"Must be all that stimulus money being thrown around..."
In all seriousness, some of this might be related to the run up in the stock market. If one has enough money invested, an extra $50K-$100K might be easy to find. The Dodge Omni belonged to Carroll Shelby, make of that what you will. |

I hang out on a Porsche forum and the run up in the stock market is being discussed as a cause for the current shortage of Porsches in the market. Some are claiming that prices are up 10-20% since the Pandemic.

Not to hijack but can someone explain this one to me? What's the difference between a Chinese booster and a correct one? Because when our Camaro gets swapped to discs, I'd like for it to look right (unless the price difference is insane, anyway)

Chinese boosters are stamped in the wrong place with delco moraine and the triangles are not stamped like they were on the originals.

I see, thanks. Given that none of mine is original anyway, I can live with "mostly right"

Easiest “tell” for me on Chinese boosters is that the “O” in DELCO is more round on the fakes. Original O is more oval shaped.
I thought that attendance was pretty strong yesterday. We had to get there early to claim our seats on the floor. Crowd is intentionally not shown much on TV. Too many people not wearing masks over their nose. |

Ah, I don't recall seeing that mentioned. I'm sure that had a lot to do with it, but still, I can think of better things to throw "extra" funds at. Like a winter home in FL or AZ... That statement applies to a lot more than boosters....
