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

[Xplantdad]

Holly and I hit Barrett Jackson early today...and stayed until way after 3pm. We met up with Abe Koser and his son (great folks), Rick (I'm a driver at Barrett-Jackson) Eckenrode, and quite a few of the local guys as well!

Enjoy the diversity...Barrett-Jackson definitely has that!! Also, we got invited to see the new Cobra unveiled...pics of that in a bit!

Group shot...then singles...

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...

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?

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.
