know there was another post about this but just have an interesting observation. i think if i ever was lucky enough to be able to go to one and buy something (which i know would be a vette , either a 63-67 or 68 to 77), i would definately go to the one in fla. it seems to me all the cars they auction off there go very cheaply as compared to the  one in arizona. on a couple of them even the announcers were shocked that the selling price was lower than they thought it would sell for. i saw a gorgeous 69 and it only went for about 50k. even on some of the other vettes they seemed to have sold a lot cheaper than one might expect.

I agree. There have been several cars that people purchased in Scotsdale, put them back on the block in the FL auction and lost money. The prices this week seem a little more realistic to me.

Eddie,
Since they will be selling the cream of the crop today, see if your opinion changes after tonight. I agree the corvettes seemed to be reasonably priced yesterday. It made me wish I had restored a camaro. A 68 and 69 sold for around  $100k. I'm looking for a 69 camaro convertible and the cheapest rust bucket i've found was 15k.

just finish watching it.  granted there were a few other no name carsRolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing that went for big bucks. one of the last cars was a 67 bb corvette. 427/400 and it was gorgeous.  went for under 100k.  i believe a 67 camaro went for around 150k.  still seems prices are a lot cheaper than in scottsdale.
