Default Re: Barrett-Jackson 2010 WOW!!

The highest prices paid for any kinds of muscle cars that I recall at B-J were the Super Snake Cobra and some of the GM Motorama cars. The highest priced Mopar there that I recall was a Hemi Cuda hardtop that sold for $600K and BTW was announced on national TV during the auction as a rebodied car.

I don't think that the F.E. thing is go effect Barrett-Jackson or much else in the market. The HUGE prices paid for a select few Mopars like the $2M Hemi Cuda vert. were supposed "private" sales. I think what has come to light through the F.E. thing is that those were really "paper" sales that were designed for barrowing purposes. Yes, it sounds like there will be a few other people involved in some of these schemes that may end up in some kind of trouble as well.

Regarding the prices of the cars in a post above, It is not just Hemi Cuda's but Hemi cars and E bodies in general. The 1969 six pack car are really down FAR less in relation to the others and if you compare recent prices of a 1969 Coronet R/T vs. a 1969 six pack car, they are VERY close. This make no sence to me at all.

The highest price ever paid for a 1969 six pack car was Colin's Super Bee which with buyers fee was $216K and that car was a previously burned totlaled car with updated disc brakes and NOM.

My point of some of these example cars and prices paid just goes to show you that there is no rhyme or reason as to what some people in the market place will buy and pay for.
