Nothing coming home but watched a 12 Mulsanne with no miles bring 58K. $400 new, made me wonder why my S550 costs so much!

Add another $10K (at least) for the first service. Very cool car, though.

It is ginormous!

And be happy it is now blacktopped. That only happened a few years back when they upgraded all the facility. Used to be all dirt and what a mess it was when it rained or the dust was everywhere. Much better now.

And remember whatever the hammer price is, add 10% fee to buyer and 10% seller fee is deducted. Barrett makes millions from this auction.

One of the best car shows on earth. A lot of stuff to do around town as well. My cousin bought a black '71 Olds 442 W30 conv. there and sold a some others in the last few years. We still have and enjoy our 66 GTO.

That show is on my bucket list. I just have to exercise restraint when I go.

Can't believe how this has grown in just a few years. Seems like prices are increasing at the same relative levels as some watches in the past years.

Every car is going for 100K plus, Crazy!
