Then I guess Fox is more honest than the pathetic organizations like MSNBC or CNN in describing themselves.

I got a feeling someone could get a good deal on the GT and the MY12 with aero kit/black pack with 7 miles on it.... Prebids are at 61k and 23k

Dang, some of those bids are already above market values. ALSO, I had NO IDEA that the Prevost Motor Home was MSRP at $2.6 Million. Damnation.
I did notice that the listing has a 1971 Challenger, but the photo shows a 1971 Charger. Guess people know, since it's the lowest bid "Challenger".

You could still consider a Hummer H1 at ~$10K. Or a 1960's era Fiat 500 for ~$5K.

You got that right. Most of these bids are already nuts. I have to assume all of the high bidders inspected these on site and all of these cars are immaculate in every sense.

As of yesterday, the Superbirds were at 85 & 90k, while the Daytona was 106k. May be time to try to get a Superbird (probably the last thing I ever do, once the wife finds out ).

Better hurry up and fix that Freudian slip typo before your wife reads your post!

The custom 1978 Pontiac Trans Am built for and owned by Burt Reynolds is in this auction. It was not in the movie Smokey and the Bandit, but has an interesting history.

I will never understand why anyone would put in a "Pre-Bid" on any auction, let alone a week-long pre-bid period. All it does is drive up the starting point bidding once the live auction starts on Saturday. If I was seriously interested in any of these lots I would be at the live auction on Saturday with my first bid.

.................. which is probably WHY the auction house does it that way. Drive up bids.

Of course the auction house wants this, buy why would any buyer do this?

FOMO...auctions aren’t what they used to be. Hard to get good deals anymore this way.

Caught part of it, my finger was twitching when the ask price was $110000 for the blue superbird, thought it was going to go higher. Sort of kicking myself now for not pulling the trigger, but also know it would have been a huge pain to follow up on, if I were to land it (money transfer, physically getting the car, transport, and finally... where to put it, it’s too long for my garage).

Hard to believe a quarter mil for any of those Stangs.

Hard to believe $104K for the 6 year old XKR-S!!! That's gotta be a record depreciation ratio on a modern Jag...
