Oh, and let me say, the event is absolutely overwhelming. It's held at the state fairgrounds, and they fill like five buildings with cars. You stop seeing the Camaros and Mustangs after a short time because there are just so many of them. I got through four of the buildings, plus an overflow lot outside, and was spent, utterly fried.

Who would have ever thought that a '64 Tempest wagon would be worth nearly a half million dollars? My brain hurts.

No, there's more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

I was watching this auction on cable over the weekend and saw that Vette get auctioned.
My favorite vehicle was a 56? White brand Semi with trailer fully restored. It went for over $100k.
Steal of the weekend was a Mustang GT500KR that went for $66k. An hour later a 65 GT350 went for over $100k.
I must say after reading this site since it's inception, I was pretty bored with most of the vehicles crossing the lot. Muscle cars are great but I am now enjoying the unique/quirky vehicles much more. Thank you Hooniverse for broadening my horizons!

This is truly so cool 😀 Thanks for putting this out there 😀
