The little I've been watching of the BJ auctions it looks like mostly a Camaro auction this year; the hour I watched it was like every 2nd or 3rd car was a 67-69 Camaro, and most in between were other GM's. I'm one of those brand loyal idiots so when I see too many Yenko Camaros or G**damn Hemi 'Cudas and nobody's throwing the token Ford into the mix often enough I get bored. But it's comforting to know there's still people out there with "f-you" money, which is about the only purpose these auctions seem to serve.

There's typically more GM cars than Dodges or Fords at BJ. Last time I watched (a couple of years ago) I counted like over 100 Vettes on just one day.
Of course, the way GM flooded the market with these budget rockets back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's....it's no wonder there are so many up for auction these days. I do find (when I have watched BJ) that the GM's, unless they're super rare option combos, tend to command less value than the old Fords and Dodges.....probably because there are so many.
