Yup, it sure looked good, even the announcers liked it. At least we got to see it and didn't get sold during a commerical.

IMHO the auction yapper did not work the car long enough.

moparrodder · January 18, 2007, 07:35:58 PM

kinda what I thought, like he was in a hurry to get to the next car.

Yes, I had some guys tell me they were trying to get another bid in and were unable to......I didnt see the typical "last call" warning either.

The $ did stall out early at 30K and then started running again and that doesnt help in the total time on the block.

That being said, Im happy with the final number.

If you are happy then we are happy for you

. I wouldn't have the guts or nerves to do it.

I guess I'm a risk taker, but a different kind of risk

c ya,

Glen, I am glad that worked for you, it sure looked good under the lights.

What is next in the hopper, 4 wheel wise?

Thanks for the compliments. I dont plan to build anything in the next year. IF.....In the rare case I find a stock 64 bel air or a shell of a Model A sedan I would stuff it in the garage until next year.

For right now the wife-y has a new parking spot in the garage.

Congrats,Glen! I'd like to hear your thoughts on the whole B/J Auction experience sometime.I've been a couple of times but not since it's been totally "No Reserve".I read somewhere that a pretty large percentage of the cars are bought back by their owners since going to this format.Your observations??
