57 T-Bird, grey with red interior, E-Code just sold at BJ for $300k. Outstanding!! The restorers were grinning from ear to ear.
That would be Amos Minter and his kids....
I've been deployed to much. When I saw "BJ" my mind went a whole different direction.....
Troy, When will you be back in country ?

I watched some of it. Just another reality made for TV show. Some of those buyers will wake up in the morning and think, "What the heck was I thinking? I just paid $1mil for an $80k car!!!!!!!!! ".
So, with that, I think "BJ" is the correct term for this auction.
I was watching the Mecham auction, the first day they had the under $10K auction, lots of nice buys in there, Mark
I watched BJ the other evening, and they had a girl walk the camera crew around the new facility, it was like a mall of car stuff, furniture made from car parts all kinds of shops, everything to do with cars $$$$ she ended up jumping in a Helicopter to give an aerial view. Place is crazy big!

Tom, I've been back for a few days. Wish I could get out to the auction to walk around it would be fun. I've heard from a couple places that the cars out there this year were some shiny terds and that well restored cars were few and far between.

I couldn't agree more and never watch for more then 5 minutes. Just people over filling their ego crankcases with $$$$$$.
I thought here were some pretty good deals. 1970 Hemi Challenger for $110k I didn't think was too bad.
Best part of the show I thought was when they drove up Don Prudhommes cuda funny car up on stage,
lots of cackle and nitro fumes, mmm,mmm,, good!
