Not even a 1100837 for that money.

It was not even an RS Z28. It also had standard interior. Maybe it was the compact spare tire?

I think two guys going at it and both had too much to drink. The seller won the lottery and so did Barrett Jackson.

I was laughing at some of the prices!
Can't believe the insanity!
$300K for a 2021 Corvette?
Wish I had this kind of IDGAF money!
Super Saturday should be entertaining!

There was more than 1 69 Z that brought really good money this year. The blue one brought $187k, and another orange one brought $159k. There were a few others that weren't perfect and still didn't seem to have a problem squeaking over the 6 figure mark.

Honestly it's kind of what I was expecting on 69's since they already had a couple of 67-68 Z's that were around the $150k mark, and just a few weeks earlier Mecum got over 6 figures for a 70 Z.

I watched this several times while walking around Barrett Jackson earlier this week. I was amazed at the amount of people that would just walk up to a car, open the door, get in, sit down, and just start fiddling with stuff. Many of which weren't wearing a bidding pass. One woman sat down in a car, all giddy and smiling, wanted her picture taken, was messing around with stuff on the dash.

I just looked at my dad and shook my head. While I admire someone's enthusiasm for a classic car, I was always taught to never touch someone else's property without permission, even if it was for sale and I wanted to buy it.

I don't know how so many people were getting away with it, when my father got chastised for just touching a piece of paper that was on one of the mini bikes he was interested in. Couldn't read the darn thing taped to the front forks because the front wheel was turned sideways. No sooner did he turn the paper to read it, never touching the bike, security came running up and acted like he was slapping someone else's child. Completely unnecessary.

Bill just told me the Carolina Blue 69 Z/28 just hammered for $265k before buyer fee.

The last buick grand national produced went for $500K

I was watching that, pretty cool!!

The 69 GTO with the LT4 swapped in just after that did $400k.

Things are heating up.

This is one of the reasons I liked selling my vehicles on BAT. Having lots of people around my car would have my OCD red lining!!

I know what you mean. Other people make me nervous too. Never know if someone else takes the care that you or I share.

I also believe a big part of what is driving these prices is the current state we are in with the availability of parts. I mean who wants to build a car right now when you have to wait months for parts? Just buy one done, usually cheaper than the build cost anyway.

I waited 3 months to get quarter panels and 4 months for the outer wheel houses needed to go with them. I've had an exhaust system on order since early November last year and it's not predicted to be in till the end of February. I'm betting that'll get pushed back further when the end of February gets here.
I've had a 4L80E on order since the beginning of December. Still told it'll be at least February. Hughes is having trouble getting the clutches they like to use. So many cam cores are out of stock, and aluminum heads are like hens teeth, I've got 2 engines I can't finish. I've gotten to the point I've stopped ordering stuff if it's not in stock and let the projects sit.

Yup. That's a whopping 291,500 with the juice. :naughty:

Impressive. Phone bidder too.

Last cars are gaining traction in the market.

And the cut away 1969 sold for $350K

Watching BJ now, can’t believe the price of these cars. 87 Buick Grand National stock appearance car- 265K. I don’t get it!!

bitcoin and 21 market has given folks some "extra" $$$$$ and FOMO

Update the album this morning. Sooooo tired. https://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Bar...ottsdale-2022/

Many times a consigner or bidder will ask me what I predict a car will sell for. Besides the ramifications that could come from doing that, predictions are just impossible at BJ Scottsdale. Besides the already mentioned cars, a buddy’s unrestored green ‘70 Chevelle LS6 sells for $300K, surpassing their expectation while the restored yellow ‘70 Chevelle LS6 sells for $180K, under that consigner’s expectation.

Met an awesome local couple with disposable income that bought the pink 5th gen Camaro with 32” wheels because it was hilarious looking. Sure did get TONS of attention. Many others bought cars because they liked them.

One more day of selling then I’m done. Don’t think there is TV coverage today.

Last update from Scottsdale 2022; https://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Bar...ottsdale-2022/

First time in 10 years (that I know of) where an auction vehicle transmission locked up in the staging lanes and the vehicle was pushed over the block while on casters. Never know what will happen at an auction.

This one?

ya, the bidding slowed down real fast when it wouldnt move

CC Rider was it an Auto Trans car?
Had a '77 Pontiac T/A do that to me once.One of the Valve body bolts came loose,and dropped down inside the pan,preventing the internal Shifter mechanism from moving any further..The trans was stuck in PARK and wouldn't move.
I had to remove the TH400 pan to see what was what.
Easy fix..Hope the Buyer got the car for a song.. :)

Sold for $125,000 and it took 9-10 personnel to push it off the block on the wheel dolly’s

It was an automatic. I think it was repaired after selling.

My buddy drew that car. The consignor told him he would drive it as there were "issues".

Yup. I spy the project manager standing at the driver's side.

Wasn't that the GNX with 568 miles on it? I don't think it was just a regular GN
