Dave,
I agree with you on this. I find it strange that someone would pay $131k for a
car that was not originally golden. I thought that the real big dollars went
for cars which were complete, rare, and restored as original to a very high
standard.
If the buyer wanted a golden BJ8 seems to me he/she could buy one and have it
restored to the same level for considerably less than $141k.
But on the other hand, as someone else pointed out you have the excitement of
the auction/adrenaline/alcohol/impressing others/etc going on.
