SOHC "Cammer" CSX 4786 No Reserve in Monterey

[decooney]

I was down the road at another location and my cousin from Maryland was there at the R&S auction texting me about Bill's car as it was sitting at 110. My cousin texted me a few times back and forth asking "whats it worth" as if he was sort of interested. He was commenting on the car and how nice it was. I relayed to him that "what it will go for" all depends on who's there bidding at that moment and if more than one person really wants it or not. Wished I could have seen it and been there at that moment with him while the bidding was going on. I noticed a different sort of vibe about the auctions and scene downtown as compared to prior years - not that it was bad, it was just different or not as lively. Seeing the Cobra Transporter in front of RM Friday night was fun. Saw some cars at RM go sort of high and yet there complaints that RM was not as good this year. It was okay when I was there Friday night. Afterwards we kept hearing from a few other friends that that Mecum was better this year yet it was held during the day time while the major events were going on - strange. Almost appeared as if the auction scene as a whole in Monterey was kind of sprinkled all around at different places versus going to "the place" to see the best cars. I would have been nervous with a no-reserve car this past weekend for sure.
