All the fire chickens......

Seriously, I've been researching the value of that 1947 Bentley. Uncompromised it's somewhere between 11k and 30k. This one's been modified a lot. There's no way to tell the quality of the restoration online. Any thoughts what you think it will sell for?

Looking at the other cars up for auction, I don't think there's much of a market there for it. It might be a steal and a fun toy for awhile.

BJ has a archive feature so you can look at cars that they have sold in the past.
remarkably they apparently have never sold an S2000.

The Mecum auction this April looks to be a better potential auction, car wise. I'm hoping so anyway.

mecum was here in naples once.

Their reserves were so high they didn't sell squat. They spent all their time acting like used car sale smen trying to close deals after the fact.

They've never come back.

For the truly well heeled, the 3 18Wheelers and a pit car as as single purchase, to fill with the other stuff he bought.

Well they moved their venue to Kissimmee this year. The second chance option for cars that don't sell is really a serious buyers chance to negotiate a price with the owner.
