It's also on Speed Channel and is called Barrett-Jackson: Life on the Block. I've seen it and it's pretty interesting. One thing they went into is the bidding war on that 54 Olds F-88 concept that ultimately sold for $3,000,000. Apparently one guy was upest about another bidder jumping in front of him and not displaying proper bidder ettiquette. He knew the guy wanted the car, so he figured he'd keep bidding to jack the price up and "make him pay". Seems like a couple of rich guys behaving like babies, if you ask me.

Sorry for the delay.
FYI: The Futureliner sold for $4,100,000 (less buyer's fee). They said the buyer was hoping to get $600,000 for it.
[EDIT]
I'm getting frustrated with B-J's results webpage. It stalled out at lot #1263 for about a half hour, and now it's stalled at lot #1299. I really want to know how much the Mobil Gas Station collection went for.

| | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 543 | It sold for $4M. There was a slight disagreement between the buyer and B-J about that, but he ended up with it for $4M (plus the $320,000 (8%) buyer's premium). He also bought the '70 LS6 Chevelle SS ragtop (the blue drag car) that had 61 miles on the odometer for $1.15M, plus a couple of other cars later on Saturday night for $150K and $275K, each. Supposedly, this guy came to town with $10M to spend on cars at B-J. Unbelievable!

Lot #1527 (The '49 Canopy Express) is being shown on the results page as a '66 Mustang Coupe.
Clicking on the link either in my original post or at the B-J list of cars, it comes up with no information whatsoever.
I wonder if there was some reason that they had to pull it from auction...

It was going across at the end of a commercial break, unfortunately. No other Hudsons or Studebakers that I was aware of. Good. That means they are still affordable!!!
