Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014-Cool surprise, too!!

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

As I said before, Holly and I were privileged to be invited to the unveiling of the NEW Shelby Cobra at Barrett Jackson today (invitation only). Scott Black, the PR guy from Shelby American extended the invitation to Holly and I (he is also the one responsible for arranging the meeting with Carroll and Holly a few years ago). Present at the unveiling was John Luft, President of Shelby American and Gary Patterson (VP of Operations and test driver) and other dignitaries as well!

Here's the car before the unveiling...

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

Scott asked us to come over at 3pm to the Shelby area...as he had something to give to Holly and I. Also, we were able to meet the top selling Shelby dealer in the US, Stephen Becker (Cool as heck guy)...here are the three together

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

Thanks again Bruce. It's great to put faces to some names.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

Thanks for sharing.

Anyone knows what the 74 Trans AM sold for?

Jan

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

It was good seeing everyone there today and having a good time. Spending time in Phoenix with Doug Perry and the Iowa crew has been fun and I can't wait until we see the Pavilions in person.

Jan </div></div>

It went for an insane amount (for a 74 SD) $132,000 - that's more than double the average sale price of a 74 automatic SD.

Nice car but that buyer is going to have some REAL buyer's remorse when he sees what they normally go for out in the market.

But, hey, since it's Barrett Jackson, now all the rest are worth that amount, right?

BTW: Linda V. Is looking good , however, as hard as it is to say, did anyone else think she looked a little flat? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/Charley.gif[/img]</span>

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

Anyone see the Mecum guy slam the hood on the red 71 Hemi Cuba convertible at the Kissimmee auction? I think he should have taken out the hood clevis pins before he did that. Not pretty and the camera happened to be right there at the pins when he did it.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

Nice pics, looks like you guys are having a blast. Do you recall what the L89 Chevelle went for?

Not sure...but I know who bought it...so I can find out [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

The 1969 Blk/Red L89 Chevelle sold Friday for $68,200.00 w/buyers fee.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

63K plus commission.

Very low price for an L89, I would love to look this car over sometime.

Ryan

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

Buyer sold a black/red 69 SS Chevelle...and bought a black/red 69 Chevelle....LOL!

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

My kind of guy, sells one 69 Chevelle to buy a better one.

Ryan

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

Wow! Good deal for that L89 car. I'd love to know more about it. Thought that would have broken the $100k mark pretty easily .

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

Me too.

I love the L89 option.

Ryan

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014-Cool surprise, too!!

Ryan, In the Barrett Jackson brochure that they sent me stated: the car had L-89 Heads--they NEVER printed it was an L-89

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014-Cool surprise, too!!

Thanks Mark.

I love those aluminum heads.

Ryan

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014-Cool surprise, too!!

I was surprised that the Snake/Mongoose vehicles didn't meet reserve.Wonder what R.Hendrick paid for them post block.What did ''OLD RELIABLE''sell for and was Grump the driver or wrench on it?

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014-Cool surprise, too!!

Thanks for the pics Bruce. Surprising how much stuff I missed being their for eight straight days.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014-Cool surprise, too!!

Bruce, Alex and I enjoyed meeting both you and Holly. A pleasure for sure! We had a great first BJ experience and will be sure to return. Alex and I chatted wtih Linda Vaughn on Friday. I'll post my pics when I get home. Linda was pretty tired and said she was getting another stent inserted this week. She's a trooper for sure and we wish her well.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014-Cool surprise, too!!

Love that white Z/28 with the red guts.

Did anyone happen to take more photos of this car?

Re: Barrett-Jackson Friday- 2014!!

The Old Reliable sold for $230. It was for sale for years for $495 at RK Motors in NC. Jenkins tuned it and Dave Strickler drove it.
