I love looking at the classic cars on auction. My favorite is the 58 Chevrolet Belair and the 69 camaro. Always wonder what quick detailer, spray wax or product they use right before the auction.

I watch all them. I'll record them, so when I go back and watch I can just fast forward through commercials. They look to use the Mother's Showtime Detailer.

Some of those cars look like the only detailing they have ever received is a wash and a quick glaze.

Under the auction light they are swirled to death.

Yep, love watching the auctions, especially the Saturday venue with the cream of the crop.

Though I have to say, the ad nauseum repetition of that ridiculous Black Magic slogan "official shine of carcissists" every 5 minutes is really annoying.

I love to watch them. Watching the Dallas auction live right now. There are so many beautiful cars to dream about one day owning.

I like watching them Randy. Muscle cars are my favorites and I enjoy strolling down memory lane....seems I do that a lot lately...:laughing:

The 1969 Camaro is my all time favorite Camaro. While I'd live to own an original Z28, I'd gladly hop right in a Pro-Street big block version any day...

My All time favorite Muscle Car list....

1969 Z28
1969 BOSS 302
1969 440-Six Pack Roadrunner
1970 HEMI CUDA
1970 Chevelle SS 454

Yes.
Lets see, this afternoon was a Camaro for almost a quarter of millon bucks. Think it was a Yenko Camaro. Forget what year.

No Pontiac GTO on your list?

While I enjoyed my 1968 GTO convertible it didn't make the top list in my book. My 68 GTO was heavy, very heavy and if I remember correctly was close to 4,000 pounds which really took away from it's true potential.

Would I like to still have it? Yes indeed but it would be at the bottom of this list....and that ain't too shabby if you ask me.....:props:

A couple of my gems back in the day....Check out the developed date.....March 1973...

1968 GTO
1970 440 Cuda

I used to watch religiously but after awhile it just seems like Camaro, Chevelle, Camaro, Chevelle.

I tape them then go thru the commericals. I just enjoy seeing what some people do to theirs. I enjoy the cheaper ones, not the very expense ones because they don`t drive them just show them ( NOT THAT THIS IS WRONG ) I enjoy my Camaro and enjoy detailing it and learning things here on:buffing: AG.
