Yes, and I'll be there tomorrow with the wife so I don't do anything stupid

Actually, we will be eyeballing a few cars this year with the intent to bid. I can hardly wait

Mid-years will continue to demand the high dollar. The best by far design of all the generations.

Yes, there is nothing like a '67 roadster especially a 427 tri-power! Nothing.

I have been watching all week.Ffrom time to time there are some good buys on the C-1, C-2 and C-3 cars providing they are not NCRS quality. Some excellent driver+ cars. Instead of a C-7 I may go with a C-2 big block.

Been watching all week, superior to B-J. Mecum's all cars all the time, great viewing. Crowds seemed down some though, maybe Saturday will improve.

Have found myself as surprised by what hasn't sold as what has.
'69-'70 H/O Olds in pristine condition, no interest. Several beautiful Hemi cars, no interest. Exquisite hotrods/retros, no interest.

Seems something's happening in the collector car world.
