Great pics!! My hopes is that we can get to the BJ auction in West Palm next year. We were going to go this year, but construction of a new garage put that on hold... so hopefully 2013...

Wife and I are headed there tonight and looking forward to it.

Great Pics!

ttribe

Cool. Feel free to add more pics to the thread after your visit.

Thanks so much ttribe for these fabulous pics. Great job! My preference is American iron and in particular, the supercars of the mid 60's (they were not called musclecars back then). But I am open to seeing all of these.

ttribe

Thanks. I tried to get a good mix - current, exotic, restored, original, custom, classic, etc. There was A LOT of classic American muscle there.

ttribe

Seriously...it was a little like getting to stand in the presence of one of my childhood heroes for the first time.

joedokes28

Will do. Keep your expectations low as I only have a crappy point and shoot and I'm expecting the auction to be REALLY busy tonight.

BTW, we have several car auctions going on in the Phx area this weekend. Today a Merc gull wing went for $4.2M - http://www.azcentral.com/community/s...ction-brk.html

AWESOME pictures, thank you! They don't have these auctions anywhere near Cleveland, so I'll have to make a nice trip to go to one of these eventually.

dallison
