Anybody watching the Mecum Auctions ? The no5 Batmobile did not sell yesterday but the Bat Cycle sold for $23K. Another(?) Batmobile goes on the block today

I watch it quite often.

There always seems to be repeats of older ones on NBCSN in my area & it beats the hell out of watching carp like "Duck Dynasty"!!

I was watching last night when a beautifully restored '57 Dodge pick-up crossed the auction block. $150k !!! Really. I know that the post war pick-ups are getting hotter and hotter but this is very eye opening.

I was shocked today a 70 Superbird unrestored with only 9,880 miles looked like it was off the show room floor with the Hemi (most were 440's) only went up to $200K.

 

This is coming up shortly . Very interested as I am starting a similar build

Barrett-Jackson is coming up too - I went through the automobilia listings, apparently written by the same dingaling as always. I think he uses a dartboard to pick the adjectives. ("NOSY" is a new one this year - does it mean NOS-ey, like almost NOS? )

No vintage promos this time, unless you count the orange WenMac/AMF '65 Mustang. Worth maybe $150 on a good day - let's see what it does.

I notice among the real cars, they're flogging the maybe-it-was-maybe-it-wasn't-JFK's ambulance again, and a customized '56 Chevy that they say has some kind of tenuous Barris connection, although the H.A.M.B. thread on it doesn't seem to bear that out.

I was just looking at the website and the Don Fezell collection of cars were from 20 miles where I live I always heard he had a huge collection of old drag cars and I heard this is only a part of them that he took to Florida man he has some beautiful cars. I wished I could have seen them in person sometimes I'll se one of the drag cars going through town headed for the drag strip.
