I've casually watched it over the years as I've always enjoyed turning wrenches and dabbled in classic muscle car resto here and there, but admittedly haven't given the BJ auction much attention the last couple years as in my opinion it's gone more like art auctions than anything. The cars bought there are far more considered investment and collector pieces rather than machines to be used. While that may be great news for those in the restoration industry, of which I greatly support, doing a resto that would ever raise an eyebrow at an auction like BJ as far out of reach for us home mechanics who work regular jobs as building a car for NASCAR is. Neat to see some of those old beasts still running, just a shame to know virtually none of them will see a public highway or start a conversation at the local fuel station.
