Phoenix Gold Phorum

Anyone else obsessed with the Auctions on Speed this week, I cant stop watching.

I watched for a bit. The little woman starts to bitch as soon as she sees what I am watching. "Can't we watch something we both enjoy" I heard them talking about the record $5 million car. What kind of car was it?

Carrol Shelby's personal 66 Shelby supersnake, only one in existance, the other was destroyed years ago, killed the driver. Kind of unique.

Buy her her own TV and tell her she can watch any program she wishes........after the dishes, laundry and vacuuming are done. Sandwich and cold beer delivered to you is optional, depending on where you are with her training regime.

I found the prices are getting stupid. I can understand high 5 figures for a rare original ride - Pony Mustang, BB Chevelle or a BB 'Cuda - but people are bidding customs into the stratoshpere. I remember when a custom commanded nothing more than retail. Rich man's game now.

HH

$5 million for a one off Shelby because Carroll dragged his ass across the upholstery. Then it has to sit in a garage? Just simply retarded. The epitomy of excess and stupidity. Period.

I watched it most of the time I could. All my room mates were laughing at me, saying it was stupid. But there is no where else you can see cars like that!

Also, here are the results: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/appstest ... efault.asp
The big ones are on saturday. You can even see the pictures of them. Even the CNN hummer went for a mill.

No, its a pretty cheesy truck from 10-15 years ago. It was a donated piece for a Drag racer that got paralized in a wreck a while back, so it was a "write off" type of deal. Free truck for a big donation to charity.

The 454SS chevy P/U is a brute and a pretty rare vehicle for a recent american limited production vehicle. It is what started Ford in the F150 "lightning" craze and further more it is a High output bigblock eco-unfriendly, tire spinning, seal clubbing chunk of tree hugger doom.


I used to idolize that truck before I became educated.
