[Sunday 12:06 am ET]
OVERTIME: We’ll be live on SPEED and streaming live on SPEED.com for an extra hour. We’ll go to 1 a.m. ET.
FOR-PLY: Here’s my story from Saturday about Ray Evernham and his FOR-PLY 1964 Belvedere that he built to help IGNITE, a Davidson, N.C. organization for young adults with autism and Asperger’s syndrome. It sells for $180,000. Ron Pratte throws in an extra $100,000, making the value $280,000. Great stuff!
[Saturday 10:55 pm ET]
DONE DEAL: Rick Hendrick buys 2 Corvettes for a total of $2.05 million — the first production 2014 C7 Corvette for $1.05 million and an L-88 race car for another $1 million.
[Saturday 10:31 pm ET]
BATMANIA: George Barris and the Batmobile hit the stage with Linda Vaughn dressed up as the Catwoman. An unbelievable display, unlike anything ever witnessed before at Barrett-Jackson. Just a remarkable event. Past $2.5 million, the reserve is lifted and the Batmobile sells for $4.2 million. POW! BAM! THUMP! One of the greatest moments in Barrett-Jackson history, without question.
Rick Champagne of Ahwatukee, Ariz., is the winning bidder. “I knew I was going to get it. I knew it was mine,” he said.
“We set a world record,” said Barris, thrilled by the result.
[Saturday 10:06 pm ET]
PANTHER POWER: This very cool 1954 Packard Panther prototype sells for $750,000. What a beauty!
Immediately afterwards, the Virgil Exner-designed 1956 Chrysler Diablo rolls across the auction stage. It sells with a winning bid of $1.25 million.
[Saturday 9:32 pm ET]
FATTY ROLLS: One of the biggest cars in the show, Fatty Arbuckle’s 1919 Pierce-Arrow fails to sell after a high bid of $1.1 million. This thing cost $32,000 new in 1919.
[Saturday 9:21 pm ET]
PLUM CRAZY : An exceptionally rare 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda convertible, one of just 11 ever made, changes hands with a winning bid of $1.2 million, plus 10 percent buyer’s commission.
[Saturday 8:57 pm ET]
THE GREEN HORNET : The Legendary Green Hornet 1968 Shelby EXP 500 Prototype, which was owned by Barrett-Jackson CEO Craig Jackson, goes across the block, with a top bid of $1.9 million, but it doesn’t sell. Jackson said he thought it was worth $3 million.

[Saturday 8:55 pm ET]
THE FRENCH CONNECTION, PART DEUX: Here’s another great post-World War II car, a sexy black 1947 Talbot-Lago T-26 Sport with coachwork by Franay. It ties with the Clark Gable Gull Wing as high seller of the show so far at $1.85 million.
[Saturday 8:40 pm ET]
THE FRENCH CONNECTION: There not enough words to describe how elegant this 1949 Delahaye Type 175 Saoutchik Coupe De Ville. Just drop-dead gorgeous, this Delahaye joins the million-dollar club, crossing the block at $1.1 million. What a great example of a post-World War II coupe from one of the great coachbuilders of Europe.
[Saturday 8:01 pm ET]
THE ITALIAN JOB: Another million-dollar sale, this one for a 1929 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A SS roadster, one of only two ever built. The hammer price is $1.2 million. The buzz in the room is incredible as the Salon Cars come through.
[Saturday 7:58 pm ET]
OLD SCHOOL: A stunning 1934 Duesenberg J Murphy LWB Custom Beverly Sedan sells for $1.3 million. Game on, people.
