I've been watching it all weekend. I've always enjoyed their auctions. Wish I had the money to buy just one of them. :)

Yeah...I watch basically all of it. There were some amazing machines that went for WAY higher than they were worth, but it ain't my money, so I don't car. Does anyone know why Speed only shows 3 days of it? There is a 4th day, right? And isn't that when the really high dollar cars go? I mean, it isn't like they could reschedule the reruns of Nascar and Formula racing from the 80s that they show instead.

I watched it off and on. Wasn't there a mustang that went for $260K? I don't know which one exactly as I didn't see it happen but heard them talking about it later in the show. Anybody know which one it was?

Yep. I almost missed it, but luckily I was recording. 1967 Shelby GT-500 with a 650hp all alluminum 427FE shelby engine. Everybody was like, this car is going to fetch some good money.

Alot of the race cars went for cheap. That s/c'd hemi powered F-100 went for like 80g's, which Tim Allen bought. And Dale juniors car for near the same.

I was there. Did anybody see me? I know it was like looking for Waldo. Barrett had some pretty cool cars. Chrysler had some neat concepts. I got to see Tim Allen buy a 41 Willys truck for aroung $140,000. Saw a custom car go for close to $400,000. Watched the guy, who looked like that he just walked off the streets, buy all the Calloways, yes even the one that smoked and looked like all the rings had to be replaced. All in all it was a neat thing to see and watch live.
