Greensboro Classic Auto Auction

[C Body Bob]

My favourite of all the pics you've posted is the '56 DeSoto. If it's as nice as it looks, that doesn't seem like a bad price either, except that's US funds which is probably around $25k CDN.

It was pretty nice. Was one of my favorites too

64 Ford Galaxy convertible 390. This car had brilliant paint & a lot of well polished clear.

I’ve always liked the Brittish sports cars.

Absolutely beautiful black on black 74/75 Ford Torino.

How about this custom chop top Chrysler 300.

 

[C Body Bob]

GT500 with a 428 Cobra Jet & auto trans. I believe it went for $80 grand

This Cutlass S was super nice. 350 Rocket Olds. Looked fast with the paint & wing. The yellow rims look new so I have to assume the trim rings were in the trunk

70 Boss 302

Elimator Mercury Cougar with a 4 speed

Beautiful 440 Magnum Challenger

View attachment 266830 This mid 60’s Vette had braided wire covering over the spark plug wires on an otherwise stock appearing big block. Not sure what this is about.

Those plug wires are how Chevy dealt with radio interference in the big block Vettes (I don't think the small block used them). There's also a shield covering the distributor. If the car had a radio it had those wires, without a radio had standard wires, at least I think that's how that goes.

Yep that’s what I’m being told.

This 57 Chevy was one of the better customs in the auction. It was Barrett-Jackson/magazine quality car. The attention to detail was magnificent. Check out the American flag themed art on the quarter panel.

And another outstanding custom. Check out the flames. I think this is a 48-51 Chevy sedan with a early 50’s DeSoto grille. Not that up on the 50’s customs. Definitely a lot of craftsmanship in these builds.

Pretty cool. Looks like a big orange cream-sickle. I don't like the orange piping on the sets, though.

@75LandYacht ... looks like the deal of day from here...
