Looks like the bubble has popped a bit to me. Some of those Vettes seem very cheap to me.

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

With a no reserve auction you get what your car is worth to the purchaser so long as you have 2 real buyers if 1 falls short the second bidder gets a bargain

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

Some people are going to get some really nice cars this year for less than the cost of the restoration.

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

Yup, there look to be some good deals this year. It's tough to really judge without being there and seeing the cars and the documentation in person. But good buys this year might lead to higher prices again next year. I think last year was an anomoly because you had a couple of serious people looking to build museum collections and that artificially inflated the prices. This year seems more realistic of what to expect.

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

Agree some people have got some real nice cars so far for less than restoration costs. Honestly it really seems like a unique crowd bidding.Looking more for big HP in drivers that they can have fun with. No offense to those with customs and yes it is not the same as being there but when you see a 69 original 6 cylinder camaro custom going for 182K and you could not pull more than 90 out of a 67 tri power vet. There was one vet in particular I would have cryed if I was the owner.
We all watched basket case ls-6 chevelles sell that needed every panel replaced on e-bay for 50 plus after the last auction now a No. 2 cannot bring 80 and he did say they had papers but what does that mean today.
Take a 318 dodge conv however and throw a hemi in it and 100K plus is right there.
You never know.

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

A good example is the 67 Camaro with the really low vin #. I think it sold for over 40K. It was a so so resto, caution fan sticker, LA car with the restamped block that they stamped a N as if it was a Norwood car. 40K was about 20K too high in my mind.

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

I think that the R&S auction drags alot of the muscle car buyers to their event. they are primarily muscle cars. I look at the cars they have, and i think i would be there also.

Out of curiosity, Who determines what the bidding will start at.

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

That low mile Hemi Cuda's owner must have dropped dead. I'm sure he's been offered double or triple over what it sold for over the years.

Can a seller pull his car before it hits the block?

[/ QUOTE ] I think thats due in part to the fact that people do full blown restos on average cars, and they never recoup thier resto costs. If a car isnt worth 150K or so, there is no financial reason to do a concourse resto on it.. Its kind of like building a mansion in a bad section of town..you arent going to get your building costs back.

Quick Bowtie owned this car about a year ago and i thought he sold it for more than that then and it traded hands a few times after that. When i saw it hit the block i thought it would bring 1 million. That guy must be bummin!

I believe the announcers stated that the silver LS-6 had
"papers". That's why I was surprised at the final price.
I do agree that we can't see the condition of these cars.
But help me here if you can. I was of the opinion that
the cars that came across the block @ BJ were predominantly
high level restorations ( if non-survivor class ). So, what
explains the two LS-6 car prices? Bad resto's, bad or
missing paper work? Again, if BJ is to represent the best
of the best, how did 2nd class cars get in the auction

[/ QUOTE ] When someone says it has "papers", that can mean it has a title, an owners manual, a fake buildsheet, a buildsheet with the corner vin ripped off, or anything of the sort. I dont know what the Ls6 Black convert did or will do as i havent seen it go thru , but whatever it brings [column auto with a buildsheet missing a VIN],i wont consider that the market for a 4 speed car with a vin'd buildsheet. Thats what im trying to say. Nor will i take the 1.3M sale last year of the Briggs car to mean market price either. Lastly dont ever assume all the cars at BJ are quality cars. Rather the majority of quaility documented cars are usually tucked in at home in someones gartage when BJ is going on.

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

Wow-Hemi cuda 500k and the fred gibb nova for 150k surprised that did not bring more nice car.

And what's with the Steve Davis (?) guy and the sunglasses??

Re: Barrett Jackson.....
 

What do you think the percentage of buybacks is? If I had 250 in a car and it stalled at 150, and I believed I could get more for it, I'd buy it back.
