Another hot day today. 75 degrees or so. I spent most of my time inside the auction tents though so I never really noticed the heat.
The batmobile arrived today and was on display in the feature car tent. It's not the real thing but a re-creation. Still, I'll bet it gets some pretty good money when they sell it on Saturday.
The only car I was really interested in today was actually a truck. A nice little '34 Ford pickup. I thought it might go cheap but I was sadly mistaken. The hammer fell at $25,000. That was about 10k over what I would have paid for it. Oh well.
Another intersting car was a 1978 silver anniversary edition Corvette. Intersting because I had one of those about twenty years ago. If I remember correctly, I sold it for about $6500. This one sold for $20k but it was pretty special. It only had 17 miles on it. The car was put away when it was new and just brought out to be sold at Barrett-Jackson. Frankly, I think that was a pretty good price for a '78 vette with only 17 miles.Tomorrow we're taking a break from the auction and driving up to Sedona. I'll probably go back to the auction tomorrow night though. It's kind of addicting!
