OK, I went to an auction in St. Louis this weekend. It was pretty cool, actually, and it made me wish I was ready to buy something, especially the car I'll start with. This was a 71 914. Not perfect, but well worth what it was bid to, which was $2500. I didn't see it before the bidding but was able to check it out after. I lightened up one of the pics so you can see the plastic rocker cover which has "Porsche" spelled out in relief, which I've never seen before on any Porsche, and of course the black decal, the two of which were a little overkill. A few rust spots, driver seat had a dime size tear in it, and one of the hooks that holds the targa top in inside the truck was gone.
Then thee was this 951, with what looked like a 968 front clip and was in awesome shape, claimed to be "Porsche certified", sold for $9100 which i thought was a good deal.
Then there was this 1988 944 n/a. I missed the bidding, but noted it didn't sell the next day. I found out the reserve was 8K. Really good shape, 80K miles, but 8K is a little steep.
A very cool Geo "Zonker". I think this is actually a badged suzuki Swift turbo but I have no proof. I couldn't find it anywhere in the listing but there was a yellow Swift I didn't see on the lot, so I figured safe bet. Cool car, good shape, didn't sell.
A few other nice odd and ends. The truck is one of the trucks from "The Duel".
And some around town sightings right before I left:
