Some of those guys buy them for their museums, so folks like us will drag our kiddies and grandkiddies to their places, and pay THEM just to look at 'em! :wink:

Check some of the threads for the Cars and Coffee and several others and you will see these cars show up from time to time and I'd bet they were not trailered in.

Breaking News: Government Halts Barrett-Jackson Sale of GM Cars


West Palm Beach, Florida: Midway through Friday's collector car sale, representatives of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) forced Barrett-Jackson to stop the sale of certain cars from the GM Heritage Fleet. Our sources tell us that this order from NHTSA was completely unexpected; Barrett-Jackson and GM have been extremely careful to note, in written material posted on the cars, which GM cars are sold on "salvage titles" or similar, and cannot be registered. Apparently, despite this, NHTSA is concerned that someone "might try" to register the cars for the street.

GM and Barrett-Jackson are attempting to resolve this so that the cars, which have been heavily publicized and have drawn bidders from across the nation, can be sold. Unfortunately, discussions are hampered by the fact that the relevant NHTSA offices are closed for the day, and reportedly will be closed tomorrow as well.
 
This conflict was apparently settled a short while ago and all of the cars will be allowed to be sold.
