Default Anyone watching B-J Palm Beach?

There appeared to be some fairly reasonable prices early on, but they seem to have come back up this afternoon....

I'm watching these blithering idiot announcers tip-toeing around the facts with the one-of-twelve produced, lime green, 1971 hemi automatic Challenger R/T that had been rebodied. It's hilarious to listen to their non-sensical prattle. It's like they think they are going to get sued if they say the wrong thing.

Gee, it sold for $87,000. Ya think the fact it was rebodied had something to do with that price?

Looks like the bidders knew what they were looking at. In its felony-free, original body it would have been a $200K car.

Looks like a few give-aways and then some ego bidding also. Hard to tell where the smart money is... (maybe it stayed home)

The prices paid for certain Corvettes was beyond belief. Obvious restamps and trim tag changes and they still brought big $$, simply amazing.

I think that would be Steve Magnante(sp) and out of the group of commentators that cover the BJ auction I think he's the only one who has even the slightest clue.

I love how the guys on TV keep saying that numbers matching means it has its original motor.

Steve M.really knows his stuff.I'd believe what he says more than some of the other talking heads on the B-J broadcast.
