Barrett-Jackson Shocker of the weekend - $198k VW Bus!

I saw this beautiful bus Wednesday as I was walking through the event after picking up my credential and thought about how great it looked. My first view of it grabbed me immediately, it was sitting in the middle of building 10 with no other cars around it and the light coming through the doors set it off nicely! Hmmm, I wonder what this will go for - never did I imagine...

...when I checked the price Saturday night I was amazed! $198,000 and with the 10% commission a total of $217,800!

If you missed seeing it cross the auction block on Speed here's the video courtesy of Speed.

Video preview of tomorrow's Icons of Speed & Style auction at the Petersen

Chris Brown, Marketing Manager at the Petersen, just sent me the links to these videos from today. In his message he apologized for the editing, other than titles they are straight out of the camera.

The Icons of Speed & Style by RM Auctions is sure to be an historic event, just look at the cars. I was there to shoot it also but it will be a few days before I have time to get the pics loaded, so much going on this weekend. The RM Auction is tomorrow at the Petersen Automotive Museum, I'll be at Cruising for a Cure in Costa Mesa and Sunday I'll be at the Coronado Festival of Speed - whew.

Enjoy the Videos...
