Wont do a full dump but here’s some of the more interesting stuff and stuff I like

Kinja'd!!!

The GOAT Walter Payton’s own Porsche 930 Turbo was the high seller of the auction, selling for 295k before fees. Actually ran into Connie and Jared Payton right as we were leaving

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Beautiful Wimbledon White Boss429

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

This really weird convertible kitt replica

Kinja'd!!!

Not a huge fan of riveted over fenders but loved the wrap

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Real 69 COPO Camero

Kinja'd!!!

Stripe Delete GTs look odd. But a good sort of odd

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

The wrap on this thing was atrocious. Like a 5 year old had tried doing it

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Last year’s Blackhawks Camaro, every year the Blackhawks and local Chevy dealers partner to make one of these and then give it away to one lucky person. Guess that person didn’t want it

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Paging David Tracy

Kinja'd!!!

Mr. Tracy to the front please

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Why Dodge didn’t re-use this mascot is beyond me

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Didn’t have a spec of rust on it, lived in Arizona all it’s life and must have been garage kept

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Don’t see too many Cougar Eliminators around but man are they cool

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

The whole thing was painted with colored bed liner which was kinda cool instead of just doing black

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

This sold for 3500 dollars. Would be such a fun little toy. Had a 1250cc Yamaha Engine in it

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

This picture doesn’t do it justice but the Gray on the R8 is fantastic

Nice! I had such a great time there last year - just drinking beer, looking at the cars, and shooting the shit with my uncle and his buddy (who I randomly bumped into) and other strangers.

Just couldn’t get away this year-- the car I wanted was a ‘65 442 convertible that sold in the $40s somewhere on Saturday.  Not that I could afford it.

I was fairly neutral on the pics (other than the Golden Eagle) until the Cougar Eliminator and the Boss 351.

as far as anything actually obtainable there were a few really nice Grand Wagoneers at the show that i would have loved to pick up as a family hauler. but it was really fun this year, and way bigger than the past few times i had gone. i think they said they had around 1000 cars this week and i think 2 years ago it was only around 600

Nice! I was there Saturday AM. Great time .

So many Mustangs.

Lost of nice, vintage off-road ers, too. That market is exploding. That Orange Cheye nne was amazing. https://www.mecum.com/lots/KC1211-119116/1972-chevrolet-cheyenne-super-pickup/

I was floored by Bobby Lebonte’s race winning NASCAR selling for only $18k! My friends and I are starting a future NASCAR track toy fund.

The ‘56 Desoto Fireflite Convertible was gorgeous, pics don’ t do it justice :

We had a good laugh at the supercharged Tahoe. 860hp it said, haha. Total sleeper, ( until the transmission explodes.)

That Blackhawks C amaro was so bad, haha!

I loved that the Trackhawk had more than hundred horsepower more than the V10 Lamborghini parked next to it.
