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 assumed 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 Mecum. 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.
