Amazing...The market has turned down, Barrett-Jackson is the biggest barometer of that and it is their fault ? Someone sells a car at no reserve, doesn't get what he thought he should and it is their fault ? Was there not enough bidders ? Has there ever been that many registered bidders ? And it is their fault ? The guy with the Cuda made money on the car but bitched because he was sure it was worth more. Does anyone think the same car today will still bring what the guy got for it ? I don't think it will. Yes I think the quality of cars is down because of the no reserve but I applaud them for doing it while it worked. This is a auction. All my life I looked at auctions as a place to maybe get a good deal. Now the sellers should sue because they listed a car at a auction at no reserve and it didn't get them what they would have set their reserve at if they had a reserve ? ARRGH !!!!!!!!

I agree 100% Charley. If you watch the life on the block episode with this car and the actual auction, Mr Clabuesch said in one of the pre auction interviews that he "would see" if Chrysler was wrong or if he was by not taking their offer earlier in the year. Then the car brings more money than they offered him and he still pulls this stunt, slandering Barrett Jackson all over the internet, etc.....
I am afraid this incident just goes to show how we Americans take bits of news clips, and take them to be the gospel. Hopefully they got into his pocket deep enough to make him think before pulling another stunt like this.
Thanks for posting this Charley. I could not log in on the new laptop, had to get back on the old Dell...
