Cars to watch at Barrett Jackson

[TN2Lane]

The guy who dropped half a mil on the "first production" TBird (serial number 005) is going to be upset when 004 (which was found back in the 70s) parks next to him at a show.

I had a goofy observation. What was with all of the people wearing sunglasses in the place tonight? The president of Barrett Jackson guy, the lady that was the owner of the 0005 1955 T-Bird, Richard Petty, others? Was that old 80s song, I wear My Sunglasses at Night paying in the background?

Random thoughts. Seems like custom is in,stock is out. Sadly there really haven't been a whole lot of pedigree cars rolling across. It's to be expected I guess the pro's are keeping their good china for a better economy. That 89 Milford LT5 car Charlie was bidding on was my fave of the night,he was smart to take a pass it was getting way overvalued.

The electricity wasn't there like in years past. You can't manufacture it-it's either there or it's not and from what i've seen it wasn't.

CJ looks emotionless. I'm tired of the sunglass Steve show with his condescending hold and pump diatribe(well really it was old three years ago)the money is either there or it's not. When that CVC Eleanor clone with A/T pulled 220k with vig,I turned the TV off.

Looking fwd to some good football tomorrow!

Correct, while at the same time contradictory. Stock isn't "out", and many of the "pedigree" cars aren't there at B-J. Not a good time for the "real" cars to go no-reserve.

Richard Petty has something wrong with his eyes where the light is bad for them.

I cant believe that a 69 Hemi Road Runner went for 61K. Unbelievable.

[TXSS]

and the Yellow Blown 70 Road Runner went for 115k.

Why did that 67 Barracuda sell for $200k????

I think it came with $170k cash in the truck

I am curious to see what kind of money the 200 Mile GNX brings on Sunday; This is the Poster Child on how NOT to store your classic car. The car has some “Serious Rust Issues” on the undercarriage. I hope anyone who is going to bid on this car got on the ground and looked at it.

Even 1 year old cars have surface rust on the undercarriage on items that are unplated...I would expect there would be quite a bit on an 87' model car...Some etching acid and detailing could bring the underneath back up..
