Default Reno

Did ya'll watch the auction from Reno? A '70 455 ragtop goat sold for over $100k. That's probably what, over 25 times it's original cost? But a black '65 3x2 ragtop goat only brought $42k.

That's still more cash than I have on hand, but seemed low as compared to the 70 model. I reckin I'm just not up on the auction scene. But it seems like it would be fun to be able to sit around and buy any car you happened to like when it comes thru. It seems rather odd that I was able to buy a brand new RA3 goat while earning only $1.50 per hour, but now, 40+ years later, I couldn't touch a clean example of that same car.

American musclecars were built so that most any young buck with a job could buy one. Now they are reserved for rich guys, with lots of play money.
