Yeah, I know what you mean about the tires. You'd think they would have detailed it prior to the show. Anyway, even with the tires, it look like that was a decent buy, I'd have probably gone more if i was registered.

I bought my wife a new set of TA's a few years ago. The white lettering yellowed badly, just like in those pictures. I blocked sanded them back to white, it did not last. Never again.
66 Cyclone GT; 245/60R15's on 15x8's and 215/70R15's on 15x7 Magnum's.
There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.

I can tell you exactly how much it cost because I am the one who bought it :D . After the winning bid of 15K there are the buyer’s fees, tax, title change and plates which they do right at the auction. the total cost was $18,012.51.

If you have never attended one of these auctions believe me it is a must attend. There were over 1000 car being sold at Mecum and the Barrett Jackson auction was 1 week earlier right down the street so it was a car guys dream come true. I go every year.

P.S. The tires clean up pretty well
