Guys I personally did not see ANY car that brought what I thought was big money. The Lamar COPO at $185K and the Hemi Cuda at $250K are prices that people like RichP here have said they were going for in the first place. To be honest.......I am quite shocked at SEVERAL of the cars being sold so cheap. Could you imagine some of the car owners pissing down their legs as the car that they brought thinking they were going to get $100K for is stuck in the $50's?
Either the bubble is truly bursting or most of these rare cars don't need to be sold at an auction. Outlets like the Internet link people together so most sales are probably worked out privately or through brokers. Another possibility might be that the prices that the brokers are publicly quoting in the first place are A LOT higher than what the cars actually sell for.
Another thing. Speed Channel is WAYYYY behind the times with the people that they have commenting on the cars, especially that British goof. They even said it themselves that Barrett-Jackson used to be the place to go and buy a nice rare European car but now it has shifted to mostly American Muscle Cars and Hot Rods. With that said they could not possibility have worse commentators than those guys.
