I am watching too...I saw the 5M$ go down that's insane.

I would rather be watch a quad show about quad racing, free style or something other than these rich ppl showing off.

Its great to watch on tv but there are some concerns about it also. First thing, Get rid of speed channel coverage been watching it for over 5 years and it was the worst yet ( Scottsdale show 07) too many commercials and the broadcasters are the worst. Please bring back Alan and add Jimmy Spencer. Get rid of Matt Stone and Steve Magnate they are one sided people. Then tell the broadcasters that Chevrolet is bring back the Camaro not the Chevelle so less on them. I owned a 69 Chevelle and got rid of it quickly because they are the worst. when you have somone telling about the car up for auction, Shut up. Also some of the buyers have been on other shows. Like on American Hotrod they had one of the buyers have Boyd Coddington build a bunch of cars for the auction. So did someone get a kick back ? Other then that the show is fine accept for my concerns. Oh by the way I got a deposit on a new Camaro.

dude, you should have looked at the emblems more....................
its chevelle not cheville lol

5 million is crazy but it was a 66 ac cobra

I would rather see them sell quads or another type motorized machine than a piano or guitar

you see the 322' dirtbike jump ? (twice)

sorry for the spelling I was just to pissed off. $5 million on the Cobra ??? Well I see it. Just look how much other cars go for. Good place to place watch or see the Mecum auctions plus Hemmings Books to.

i like to watch for the incredible cars they sell, but IMO its driven the cost of "classic" cars through the roof..
every junk collector and pack rat thinks theyre sitting on a cancer eaten fortune..

very true, some of those cars have been in storage for 20+ years,
then they restore them and send them to auction

its pretty hard for the average joe to find a repairable classic

(I thought about getting one of the replica cobra's)
factory 5 racing has a sweet kit, could build one in less than a year for around 25k

I can't believe people watch this useless nonsense. Ok, maybe one episode would be allright, but not an entire days worth, what a waste!!!

hey....................

I was hung over and trying to sleep on the couch

I usually find golf or fishing or something about as exciting for background noise, this worked in a pinch.

I hope everyone realizes that you were watching the replay of last years coverage.

This years auction starts the 15th from what I can tell, but the event starts on the 12th.

For 5 million Carrol Shelby better still be in it.
