Earlier this year, regular reader and petrol head Howard S took a road trip across the US to check out some of the must-see sights in soon-to-be Trump land. Naturally these included the home of the world's best burger, Rehab Burger Therapy on 2nd Street in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Last month's Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction flooded the South Florida fairgrounds with 65,000 would-be bidders. After selling $30 million worth of metal, Barrett-Jackson boss Craig Jackson told me that "one of the biggest stories was the strong demand for original American iron this year."
One of those pristines was a heart-achingly beautiful 1969 Ford Mustang Boss ($750,000). Corvettes were strong with a 1967 Corvette roadster bringing $230,500 while another Bloomington Gold certified 427 convertible topped $200,000.
I lost out on both Heritage Edition Ford GTs with frantic bidding seeing one go for $600,000 and the other bringing $550,500.
