I remember seeing a blue superbird in a used car lot for $1800.00. That was 1977. Wish I knew then what I know now.

Bidders beware. I'm from Illinois so I paided extra to have Chris from Mecuon over look lot S203 a 68 camaro convertible for me. Having faith and trust in Chris and Mecum I began to ask chris questions about the camaro he said it's a clean car with a new top new interior with no rust, dent's or scratches on it and that the camaro Is immaculate. Having faith in Chris I began bidding over the phone Chris said why don't you knock it out the park and start the bidding at 30K I said no way I'll start at 10k. I felt as I was overbidding myself I ended up winning the bid for 33k Once I got the Camaro it had 2 deep scratches rust on the hood the 2 front tires were flat. The Porter had a hard time getting it off because it wouldn't start Looking under it has oil leak in the front and the rear seal. Once I got it started I was unable to go over 15 mph. The top had 2 rips on it and is very hard and difficult to put down and back up the interior looked years old with mold on the bottom of it as if it was waterlogged. The motor has a knock the trunk is full of rust no wiring for head and tail lights no wiring for the wiper motor no radio back windows are off track and don't close it's hard to open the drivers door front suspension is really bad and unsafe power steering pump is leaking the rear air shocks are blown. Long story short the cost of the camaro was $41,480 after shipping taxes and is going to need another $12,000 to get it in a safe driving condition. The way Mecum and Chris described this camaro was a total lie and completely false advertisement. I'm going to post a YouTube video of the 68 camaro. I'm also going to post on Facebook tictock and file a complaint with the Attorney General and better business burial.

When the Dodge daytona's and Plymouth super bird first came out the dealers had a hard time selling them.Some dealers even took the nose cone off hoping too entice buyers.FACT!

That is one beautiful Boss 429. Unfortunately at that price I'd be too scared to drive it.

The guys putting their hands on the the tail light lenses as they push the Trans Am off the stage need to be given the job of scrubbing the toilets.

James Garner is said to have been one of the top 5 stunt drivers. They tried to find someone who could do the stunts during the Rockford files shows but none could do what Garner did. He picked the Pontiac for it's handling.

The Daytona was bought from the Otis chandler collection for much less. He made a killing!

ALmost bought a 1969 429 cobra jet Mustang with slightly over $9000 bucks in 1989. All original. It had a little over 16,000 miles with the original red strip tires . I had just gotten laid off and was between jobs. Would have done way better than my 401k

In 1978 on my way to High School , I remember seeing three of these in the backyard of a house in Alexandria, Virginia. They never moved and the guy put up a fence and we used to laugh because sometimes there would be laundry hanging on the spoilers LMAO true story though and I was too busy playing with Mustangs and Cougar's.

I love all muscle cars. Different brands, models, makes etc. Hell...my fav is the 1970 Buick GSX Stage 2. But I'll be honest. You can't beat the Mopars. The sounds, the colors, the engines, the looks. The best.

@ 32:20. When Pams baby comes into the Tent, she asks that the Charger be driven up, so she can hear it 1 more time...........and the rest is history. Dana whispers, "I'll sell it at no commission...", and than realizes he's "failed"........the look on that ladies face is magically. Good for Pam Wellborn! Absolute fun auction moment at Mecum!
