Hey, I went to that auction last year when I was in Indiana visiting my cousin who lives there. That auction is really awesome, I didn't get to bid on anything because I was only 17 and didn't have enough money anyway, but I got lots of pictures and had an awesome time there.

Hope you have a fat wallet to fill up with gas everyday.
And a GTO Judge..........is your GP gold plated?

What he's saying is your only gonna get 6-9k for your current ride and you want to go to an auction and pick up a restored classic such as a 454 powered Chevelle or a Judge. Your looking at a minimum of 30k for an amature restored car. So please don't get your hopes up but good luck in your search.

Here's someplace you can look to see just how much those cars are going for.

If your that set on one of the Muscle machines from back then I would suggest getting a 70 Le mans and cloning the GTO Judge. You'd get the same attention that your looking for for less then half the cost of the real thing.
