Mostly North American cars, but some tasty Porsches and Ferraris in there.

A lot of crap in there, too. An 81 Olds Tornado is, and pretty much always will be, a POS. 1980 Z28, several C4s. The fuel crisis was not kind to American cars.

Edit Post: Just saw it's no reserve. Disregard previous post. Some interesting stuff there if it can be had for the right price. The Mercury Woodie wagon is cool, as are the 1991 Diablos (most basic of the Diablos (diablii?), no PS, no power assist brakes, clutch etc. etc. Fewer things to break technically).

Edit #2: Lot 2183 makes me smile.

Lots of crap. Some interesting cars.

If you could get the DeLorean for a decent price, you could part out the flux capacitor and actually make some dough.

A couple of 928s and Testarossas caught my attention. I couldn't understand why anyone would have so many plebeian cars. Indy Pace cars? Urgh. Money doesn't buy good taste.

Still can't go around corners. Regardless of the variety of colours.
