That one surprised me. I didn't expect it to go for that. I pegged it at 90 because of the powerglide instead of the three speed.

I forgot how much tickets are for Saturday.


I have freebies but a friend said they are $75 on Saturday. A few years ago they were like $25

Yep...but you can get them for $60 if you are military, student, or senior citizen.

Last time I went was the year Ron Pratte sold all his cars. Cannot remember what we paid for tickets though.

Yeah, Mike Joy had a hard time trying to be serious with it. Car art as he described it. We know what he really wanted to call it

Yeah, I want to say 5,000 and it was sold on a BOS without a title.

Wow. I'm guessing it was sold as more of an "art" piece rather than a car.

I was lucky to get a tour of Pratte's collection at his house down in Chandler before he sold off. I was in awe.

Dang that's a nice Porsche for $29k. Put that bitch in the garage for another 10 years and offload.

Some great driver quality cars going across today.

My mom had a Firebird identical to that one. Got hit by a drunk driver and totaled it.

I was jealous! The housing boom in Phoenix and Las Vegas was very good to Ron Pratte.

And that's the key words. These are cars you take out on the weekend, find a country road and enjoy them.
