    I was really surprised that pristine looking yellow 70 Mach One only went for $33,000.

    Before you jump for joy at the old geezers selling, remember that in addition to the winning bid, BJ extracts a further 10% buyers fee; just in case you thought you were getting a great deal.  :cheers:

    Looks like if you do a nice resto-mod on a 60's muscle car,
    you can make up near $100,000!
