Lot # 211.1...  1967 GT500. Just returned from the auction. 2 people bidding on the car. The one guy [sitting next to us] just did not want to go past $270k!!! Auctioneer convinced the other person [a lady I think] to bid $300k to shut him out. BOOM...$300k! THEN, since he lost that car, he immediately bid on a really nice 4-speed Hemi Cuda 2 cars later and walked away with that for $250k + 10% so $275k! He said he really wanted the Shelby but ended up with the Cuda. Lots of fun and some marvelous cars for a Friday before the big week! Will be going again next week a couple of times.

I watched J186, the red KR and it was a no sale. Did it sell later?

Sounds like just the kinds of customers the auction houses love having  ;)
Junk dealer and the oldest young guy you will ever know.

Yes, it sold later but I don't remember them announcing it. They tried hard to hammer it sold on the block, but I guess the dude needed to "reflect".

  I saw the red 65 289 Cobra go across the block bit to $825,000 plus the buyer's premium.  Well bought I thought.

  89K for a 69 428 Torino formal roof car.  Nice

Being a black SCJ 4 speed bucket seat console car I'm betting shot the price up on the Torino. Nice seeing it getting the love.

LOTS of Shelbys crossing the block on Friday and Saturday! Going to be fun! I have seen a lot of them and it will be very exciting!
