Entertaining viewing, thanks djw.  They're up to 130.  It's been a mix of muscle cars, Range Rover, BMW's and oddball cars.  The current auctioneer is irritating.

144.1  They got a new auctioneer.  Sta-bil is a sponsor (just thought that was interesting).

Sounded like it didn't hit reserve.  Ended with "bid goes on", not sold.  Then later he said we just sold the Datsun.  Maybe the seller took the $25,000.  Don't know how these auctions really work.

Couple more.  I'm snow and iced-in in Oregon.

Went to $25k. I wonder what the reserve was. I actually bought my 240z at Mecum back in September. The seller may have took the $25k or he may have been offered more. Either way Mecum will try and pressure the seller to sell the car so they can get a cut of the sell.

The auctioneer definitely said "we just sold the Datsun".  I assume the sale price gets published somewhere on their site.  $25,000 puts it in between Good and Excellent.

Really? The bid was at 25k. It dropped?
