Wow........... $120,000 the Foundation for the Blind should be very happy with the result.
Looking at some of the prices classic cars appear to be climbing in value again

Sunday saw a host of vehicles that went to the block for less than expected. I quickly developed a car crush for my dream car as a kid, Porsche 928. Below is PJ #49 that sold for what Speed channel commentators deemed, "A good buy". Sources expect future forecasts for The O.C. auctions to bring in more money in 2011 due to word of mouth.

That's at the Bob Bondarant School of High Performance Driving in Phoenix (Chandler), AZ!!

I work a mile away :)

I might have to go take the Saleen there this week and see what's going on. I'll let Jeremy drive my Saleen if he wants.
