Russo and Steele Auction damage
 

Earlier this week at the big auctions in Arizona they had a very nasty storm come up with 100mph winds and rain and all. I think 2 or 3 of the smaller tents they have there blew down and across the highway. Major damage to a lot of the cars.
This album is from another site I'm on. The guys who took the pics has 2 cars there that were both damaged. A black Pantera and a 67? Mustang.
The album is a big one.

Some of the damge to the cars will make you cry!

Is this at Barrett Jackson? Honestly I couldn't give a fuck about any of those people or their cars, that show makes me want to puke. It's just a bunch of asshats with more money than they can even dream of what to do with, so they go to this auction to piss away as much of it as they can on cars that they will NEVER drive.

Yes it is. They have about 4 or 5 different companies auctioning cars there.

wow Alex tell us how you really feel!

I think B-J is a crock sometimes, if you build cars for a living it's a good place to maximize your profits. Yes they have unrealistic prices. Sometimes it's the non car people that make the auction scene look bogus.

there are some good buys also. Here is one I would give my left stone for (or both)

it went for 66,000 and cost over 300,000 to build I'm guessing

If I bought it would I be an asshat?
