He has had the 275 for around 30 years now, paid somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 K for it, and probably plans on being buried in it.

Re: Barrett-Jackson 2004
 

Thanks. If he wants to sell please let me know.

A perfect example of the Barrett-Jackson effect:

Ebay auction yesterday high bid was $29,000 sold today for $57,000!

If you look at the bids you will notice that the car was stagnate at 28,800. on the 22nd, then on the 24th after the auction it took off, this is a number 2 car as described by owner. If you look at the car it has some issues as per correctness. I think they saw what happened on B-J and bid it up themselves so the car wasnt "gave away". Sure a confusing time for any 69 Z/28 owner. Now the big question, What are they really worth?

Charlie, any idea what the 70 Hemi Charger (lot 641) went for? I need to update my insurance policy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Charley, Sorry I mispelled your name again or rather, mistyped it again.

"That 1970 White GTO Judge sold for $51,300!
On its best day a Ram Air III WHITE Judge would only bring high $30's. If it was a Ram Air IV it might get that $50k.
I wish I would have sold my Judge's there "

As the former owner of this car, and the current owner of 7 other Judges, I'd have to disagree. Even though another member has stated that the car was "less than perfect" (apparently based solely on the fact that I forgot to stick on the Ram Air decals before shipping the car to the auction, and having now Fed Ex'd them to the new owner with digital pics on where to place them), I would love to have you guys take my check book and get me EVERY 70 RAIII 4 speed Judge in this condition for even $40k.

For what it is worth, no , the car was not a #1, 100pt show car, but it was also not represented as such. It WAS a 100% numbers matching and original component car, and I mean ALL numbers, distributor, engine, heads, carb, radiator, water pump, alternator, starter, brake calipers,etc...the only "wrong" bits were the GM repo fan shroud (corner missing) and a new windshield to replace the one my painter fell on and cracked (don't ask,you don't want to know). It was a 36k original mile car that I did a nice driver resto on, all original panels, detailed undercarriage with NO undercoating and all correct finishes, original wheels, super strong fresh motor, all new busings, SS lines, etc.,a truly GREAT and strong car that I'd have sold to anybody. The same can not be said of most cars sold at auction, hell, the ones I buy usually can't make it to the truck!

So, if you would be so kind, don't talk out of class. If my Judge wasn't worth the $47,500 paid for it, sold NO RESERVE with no jacking or games at a live auction at 9:45 PM,on a rainy Friday night, where would you think a more realistic market price could be found?

By the way, the white/red 70 Judge Convert (M21 , 4.33 car) on display at Barrett-Jackson near the main tent that is a 3 time GTOAA Nat'l champ is, IMO, not as nice of a car as the hardtop I sold. It was a show car, but couldn't "dance" like the hardtop.The convert is also my car, so I feel safe talking about it as well.

Don't mean to piss anybody off, but I feel I have a pretty good knowledge of what the car was and was not since I owned it, restored it, and was there selling it. BUT, by all means, if you have one you think is just as nice and worth less, call me! I already regret selling the one I did. Couldn't duplicate it for the same $42k I got net.

But then again, I could always buy a bogus Z-28 for $123k, a hot rod GT500 for $286k, or any number of fakey-dos for 2-3x the money.And what about the 64-67 GTO converts that were ALL NOM, shined up cars with that sleazy "get ready for auction look" that all brought over $60k?

Re: Barrett-Jackson 2004
 

So what's the story on the bogus JL8 car? Inquiring minds want to know? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson 2004
 

Ouch! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gifIt's scary to think what these things are going for now. Interesting, that it pulled more $$ than the 70 Hemicuda. In the past the B-body Hemi Mopars have gone for less than the E-body Hemi Mopars, with the exception of the Cuda and Challenger Hemi ragtops. There is something to be said for the enjoyment factor of the bigger cars. Having had Cudas and Chargers, the Chargers are a much better riding car. And they have a trunk the size of the Cuda's engine compartment! As for rarity, Chrysler made 112 Hemi Charger R/T's in 70 (56 4 spds and 56 autos) vs. 652 of the 70 Hemicudas. I guess if I thought about it more, I wouldn't drive mine. Now I have to call my insurance guy and refigure the value on ours (It's an R/T-SE, which breaks the numbers down into the single digits. (4 four speeds and 9 automatics) - kind of like a R/S-Z28: a luxury trim option on the performance option. Thanks for the update.

Re: Barrett-Jackson 2004
 

I think Charley pretty well covered it on the other thread.Made up car, bogus P-O-P, less than reputable seller with a really good attorney.

Oh yeah, BTW, Barrett-Jackson does not check paperwork or history, only cares if the car is shiny and you have the title and balls enough to let it rip no reserve! See no evil, hear no evil - and buyer beware because "all representations are the sellers, and not Barrett-Jacksons". What does that tell you?
