Of course, you couldn't swing a dead possum without hitting a special edition 911, or Magnus Walker. I like his cars but the rest I don't get.
My wife and I were there, but we got there early and left by noon for lunch nearby. I don't think the weather could have been more perfect (and somehow Rodney was there and it didn't rain?).
I don't know Art, that Gulf Blue 1979 930, 1 of 1, in unreal condition for something like 80k miles was alluring. It's amazing what has just happened in the past 9 months in the 930 market. They were left for dead, neglected, forgotten almost since so many of them were modified and beat on I guess, and now...damn, 100+% across the board gains in value all the way from beat on cars to high end garage queens.
Something else that caught my eye as unique there was that
1974 454 Vette. The 454s were pretty rare in general, but by 1974 they were mostly emasculated, so that was the last model year for one. It was in really nice condition with a super nice owner.
One other observation was that a lot of the cars were in need of some paint correction. I'm not much of a detailer or anything, but I was surprised to see people entering cars in a concours with lots of swirls, random marks, halos, etc, given how easy it is (these days, relatively) to clean up most all of that stuff with the one or two step Meguiar's stuff. Maybe you lose points if it looks like you didn't wash your car with Brillo?
