It's Auction week here in AZ. I will be at all of the auctions as I inspect cars for clients who may be bidding from out of state. I will post the HAMB-friendly stuff as soon as I see it.
I had to look up the auction info on that straight-8 roadster. For a minute I thought someone came up with a cross-flow head! (They ran the exhaust around the other side to balance the look, according to the info on Barrett-Jackson)
Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Wish I was there instead of waking up to 12 degrees this morning.
It looks like several of the Steve Grimes cars just sold a couple of days ago at ridiculously low prices are back up for sale. Did the sales fall through or are the new owners hoping for a quick buck?
I would like to attend, thanks for the great pictures. The TV coverage is awful, DVR and FF to the interesting cars.
I thought the coverage was pretty good at B.J on dish network. . when they did do a commercial and came back they showed what the 3 vehicles brought when they were away. Way better than M. auction last week, that was mainly commercials, come back to show 1-3 cars and commercial again. trying to watch M. auction was a joke and I quit. just looked at the prices later.
I may have been wrong. I saw them in the pictures Hot Rod Ron posted yesterday and ***umed they were back on sale. He may just have included them from the earlier auction.
That part of the broadcast is better, too many commercials in Me***. For the Barrett side, I can't stand to listen to April and Hoovie, they are terrible. I would love to see Steve Magnate make a comeback and kick off both of the other host.
I wondered that too. Which is is - injected or dual carbs? Additionally, if it is a ca 1950 build, what engine powers it? That info is noticeably lacking. Maybe a later repower which would explain the seeminly low selling price.
134 cu. in. is the displacement of a Willys Jeep flathead 4cyl from that era. Some did show up in low budget midgets.
