I arrived early for day two of this event. The auction was set to begin around 9:30 AM with more memorabilia, followed by a few motorcycles. Since I had some time, I decided to check out some of the sales from Friday, beginning with this 1976 Cadillac Seville.

The sign with the car indicated it had come out of long term storage in an automobile museum.

The odometer shows 14k miles. But there was no word on whether or not that was original. Judging by the condition of the car, I'd say it was definitely possible.

Another favorite of mine is the 1,830-mile 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.

As expected, this car looked showroom new, which was supported by its hammer price of $48k.

With an odometer reading of only 1,830 miles and showroom condition to match, this Cadillac has obviously spent most of its life in climate controlled storage. This is an example of a vehicle that was viewed as something very special when new and purchased as an investment, only to reappear decades later as a time capsule with an ultra-low odometer reading. Other "special" vehicles that fall into this category include the 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car, 1979 Pontiac Trans Am Tenth Anniversary, 1987 Buick GNX, and 1989 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo Pace Car.

I also got a closer look at the Shelby Series 1.

This is the first time I got to check one of these cars out up close.

This 739-mile car was a no sale at $155k.

With the festivities not set to begin for another half hour, I was able to get a better look at the auction block.

The GAA Classic Cars auction block.

I also got an unobstructed view of the neon signs.

They must have a lot of electrical outlets in this space !

The Richard Petty Edition Pontiac Grand Prix was parked at the back of the room. This was the first car to cross the block yesterday, and sold for $105,000 with proceeds going to Victory Junction.

Before getting things started for today, the auction team was introduced.

Also recognized was the seldom-seen, but often spoken-to office staff.

Today's festivities began with motorcycles and a few pieces of memorabilia. This 1956 Allstate scooter sold for $2,000.

TV screens hang everywhere throughout the facility. While 99.9% of them show the current item up for bid, one screen on the auction floor displays the current bid ad appears to be for the bidding assistants.

Next up was an Oldsmobile "Rocket" porcelain neon sign.

Like a lot of the other neon signs, this one brought decent money, selling for $9,000. Watching car auctions has made me realize just how collectible neon signs have become.

The next item was the Ford F150 simulator game that was sitting in the "Thursday" section of the building near the security office. It was sold on the screen for $10,000.

Next was the Baby Lakes airplane.

Someone in the Skyboxes was interested and got the attention of a bidding assistant.

After a good back-and-forth between competing bidders, the plane sold for $35,000.

The winning bidder was in the Skyboxes.

Soon it was time for vehicles. The announcement was made earlier that a majority of the vehicles offered today would be from the Jerry and June Smith Collection. I took a seat in one of the empty chairs next to where I was standing yesterday to see how this would work for pictures.

The first vehicle to cross the block today was a 1998 Chevrolet Corvette that has been fitted with a 50th Anniversary retro body kit. It sold for $62,000.

The description card's note of this car being, "50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition number 105" leads me to believe that this is an AAT (Advanced Auto Technologies), creation. AAT offered a retro-style body kit to fit on a C5 Corvette chassis. From what I can determine, a total of 200 were produced.

This seems to be the restomod process in reverse. Instead of starting with an old vehicle and fitting it with new equipment, this is a new car that has been modified to look old, yet still retaining the modern running gear.

1965 Ford Galaxie NASCAR Stock Car recreation, sold for $12,500.

This is a recreation of the Ford Galaxie used by Ned Jarrett during his championship-winning 1965 NASCAR season. The description card lists the car as being, "Professionally built" for a "Corporate function" related to Jarrett's induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011. Motivation comes from a modified 390 CID V8 and Toploader 4-speed manual transmission.

There was no word on whether or not this car is street legal. But I sure would drive it, especially for that hammer price.

1995 Pontiac Trans Am, sold for $10,000.

This is another 6-speed manual transmission car. But it's reasonable hammer price makes me wonder about the mileage, which was not listed.

1946 Willys Jeep, sold for $7,500.

I believe this is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A, which was the first production civilian Jeep based on the military MB. Willys produced 71,554 CJ-2As for 1946, and almost 215k over the production run.

I discovered that sitting in one of the chairs, while very comfortable, wasn't the best option for taking pictures. I decided to wander around for a while to see what I could see. First, I headed across the room to the staging area, where vehicles were lined up to cross the auction block.

Following the reverse of the path I explored yesterday, I headed out of the main hall into the staging area where cars were being lined up according to Lot number.

1940 Studebaker "Gasser" coupe, sold for $16,750.

As the name suggests, this Studebaker has been modified with a small-block Chevrolet V8 and straight axle front suspension for drag racing. The name "Gasser" is a reference to the the type of fuel this car uses, (i.e. Gasser means conventional gasoline, and "Fuel" refers to racing fuel).

2008 Roush 428R Mustang, sold for $21,500.

Behind the Studebaker was a rare Roush 428R Mustang. This was the follow-up to the very successful 427R Mustang. Power comes from a supercharged 4.6L V8 that makes 435 hp. This one-year-only edition is a rare car, being one of 200 produced.

I headed back out into the staging area to check out what was heading to the auction block and found the stunning 1957 Lincoln Capri I spotted yesterday.

I love this car and would own it in a heartbeat. It eventually sold for $27,000.

The "Too Kool For Skool" bus was heading toward the auction block, dead battery and all. It sold for $35,000.

More vehicles getting in line to cross the block.

I made my way back the line of cars to the doorway that leads to the back of the main hall, and was greeted by a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.

The odometer on this car showed 85k miles.

Judging by the mileage, this car should sell for much less than the white 1,830-mile Eldorado from yesterday. I'll find out in a few minutes.

I headed through the doorway back into the main hall. Here is where I got a better idea of how this process works.

Most of the vehicles scheduled to cross the block today were originally parked in the main hall, as opposed to the "Thursday" group being parked by the security office, and the "Friday" group being parked in the next room over. This means everything parked in the main hall behind the spectators is part of the "Saturday" group.

The cars seen in the photo above had just crossed the block a few minutes ago. Vehicles are pulled out of their spaces and taken to the staging area next to the main hall. Once they cross the block, they are taken back to where they were originally parked. This whole process takes place in a big circle.

This means there was a continuous flurry of activity behind the spectators in the main hall all day long. The vehicles in the rows seen in the photo above are arranged according to lot number. The Mercury Cyclone seen in the photo above was being pulled to the staging area. Once it crossed the block, it would be taken back to this row.

I headed back to the corner by the Deal Doctor desk to see some of the vehicles I just saw in the staging area cross the block.

1940 Ford DeLuxe, sold for $13,000.

This is a good looking stock presentation that still has a 6-volt electrical system. The description card indicates that this car has a "59AB" Flathead that has 24 studs and was used from 1946 - 48.

1979 Pontiac Trans Am, sold for $25,000.

This is a factory 4-speed car that retains its original numbers-matching 400 CID Pontiac V8. The Atlantis Blue exterior paint was a one-year-only option.

1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, sold for $24,000.

This is the Eldorado I just saw a few minutes ago. And as expected, this car is much more affordable than the 1,830-mile car from yesterday. This is another one I would own in a heartbeat !

1965 Ford Mustang convertible, sold for $28,500.

This is an F-code 260 CID V8 car with an automatic transmission. The car was repainted in its original Poppy Red color.

1962 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova restomod, sold for $30,000.

This car's running gear has been updated to a 5.3L LS V8 and 4L60E automatic transmission. It also has custom suspension and a Ford 9" rear end.

1927 Moreland Tanker truck, sold for $15,000.

I don't know if this truck doesn't run, or if it's just too big to be pushed. But the Moreland tanker was sold on the screen.
