I wish Bruce...I had a invite at the last minute but my family duties here would have required a trump card I did not have stashed, DRAT!.

I was glued to the tv tonight and was thinking Dang I could be there having a cold one and taking it in..maybee next year....keep the pics coming and any '67 RS/SS cars please....

Thnx Bud.

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

I just checked in before hitting the rack and it's now 20 minutes later, thanks for the GREAT pics Bruce.

That black/red stinger '67 427/435 coupe fetched a cool $151K. The guy that bought it looked happy. I would too! The '66 L72 roadster got almost as much.

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

This is really nice having somebody else take all the pics...

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

67 Corvette 427 really finished strong. Black with red stinger WOW!!!! $151K... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

Bruce, great pictures and I'm sure everyone thanks you for taking tham and posting them. Does anyone know if the 67 Camaro RS/SS 396 car was a real L78 car or not? It went for somewhere around $37K and if it was a 4K coded car that could have been the deal of the auction. I know it didn't have the original motor, but I was curious to find out if it is a real L78 car. To Bruce! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Almost jumped thru the T.V.SCREEN ----'67 W-30--

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

I did not know the Frost Green COPO is an auto car. Neat drag racing piece!

The Big Block '67 427x435 car was a great price at $155K..! But I cannot get over the '66 big block convertible for $147,000.

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

I heard Mike Joy call the '67 L78's engine a "small block." Either those Speed guys get tired standing out there all day or they don't know what they're looking at most of the time. Brock Yates uttered some flagrantly inaccurate statements too. You'd think a "car guy" like Yates could get it right more often than he did last night.

I did hear them say that the '67 4K Camaro had a "correct date-coded block," and that the owner had stated that the engine was not the original factory engine. Too bad the guy bolted spoilers on it.

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

I was wondering if the 67 was a real L-78 as well, seems pretty good for a real L-78 especially if the engine and all related parts are dated correctly.

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

How old is Brock??...he has to be getting up there...he has done and seen more than most guys... and stop hacking on spoilers on '67's...keep it up and I will sneak into your garage and install some on your ride https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif even though the factory did not install them..they just belong there...they just add to the killer lines of the car.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

Great job Bruce, thanks for the pics. Lets not forget about the 8% premium on all these cars. The olds with the buyers premium + shipping Bla Bla Bla, thats gotta be a record!!. The vettes are doing really well, they have increased from last year, maybe it's the quality and not the car, but so far they seem to be going for some good jing. Did you guys catch that Volvo combat SUV thingy, that was a https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif truck!!. Holly penis truck on that international!!. I thought that 69 TA was a little shy on the price, but previous comments explained why, good catch. keep em coming!!

Looking at it all late, and can't get anything past screen 17 to come up.
Comments on the light blue '62 409 convertible:
Not to be picky......BUT:
Incorrect items:
hood hinges
brake booster
air cleaner
generator
oil fill tube with PCV
convertibles didn't get hood insulation
missing the column mounted tach
wrong pedals
And the big one that no one wants to believe.......the 6" wheels. No such thing as a "409" wheel, and not offered in '62. Only standard on wagons.

That said, anyone know what it sold for?

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

They are actually doing the posting of the auction results almost real time on their website now. Thought that was pretty cool. Go here:

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

They're doing a great job and every year they get even better, the coverage so far is great, i see now they have BJ swag to buy. I wonder just how much they make. Consider that 8% premium and the premium for booths, admission fee's etc.

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

Hey, thanks a lot. That's a useful link. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
I'll keep an eye out for item # 753.
Anyone know the item number of the black '62 '09 SS convt?

Hey Belair, judging by the face you made, I guess you were equally disappointed in the baby blue one. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

I just remembered what that color looked like in person...

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

never should've sold that car..

Re: 2005 Barrett-Jackson (Scottsdale, Arizona)
 

The city of Scottsdale did an indepth study last year. BJ generated approximately $72 Million in economic activity for the City through hotels, fees, etc. They did the study because Craig Jackson is considering moving the auction. There was an article in the paper this week. He said he had to turn away about 400 cars because they did not have enough space to park them all. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif He is also tired of the parking woes for the attendees. They estimate 60,000 will attend the auction this year. That alone is at least $1.8M in gate revenue.

He is looking at Glendale or one of the Indian reservations that is close to Phoenix as alternatives. Should be interesting to see what Scottsdale will do to keep him around.

Time to move on and let someone else fuss over it.

Bud, I totally agree that 1st-Gen spoilers look great and I'll stop being such a pain in the bee-hind about the incorrect application of them on '67s...

I'm curious as to what this BAD BOY will bring...

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/event....asp?id=178170

Not sure if that link will work or not, but the one and only 66 SS Chevelle shown on the list just went for $62,640 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Did the value of my Danube Blue 66 SS just go up https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

I think so https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
